What happens

Clark Kent and Inspector Henderson watch over a baseball game at Metropolis Stadium, where Jimmy Olsen manages the Unity House team against Metropolis High School. Clark is uneasy because Matt Riggs, a fanatical leader who has threatened Perry White, Jimmy Olsen and Chuck Riggs, is still at large. Meanwhile Riggs and his henchman Lou settle on a rooftop above the stadium with a long-range rifle and telescopic sights, trained on the field. The episode is part of The Adventures of Superman, broadcast on the mutual network in 1946. The transcript ends with the danger still unresolved.

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.
