What happens

With help from Chuck Riggs, nephew of the clan's grand scorpion Matt Riggs, he follows truck tracks through the hills. He finds a clearing where the two captives were bound and nearly buried, and rescues them, then rounds up the clansmen. Matt Riggs, however, has escaped, and the search for him continues into the night. The Adventures of Superman is a radio serial of the 1940s, and this installment was first broadcast on June 26, 1946.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
