What happens
Clark Kent and young Jimmy Olsen are at the Tumbleweed ranch when Clark learns that the trucks carrying oil are in danger. Earlier, Clark overheard foreman Chuck Connors plotting to wreck those trucks and forced the details from him, and Superman stopped a falling rock that would have crushed the convoy. Meanwhile Jimmy was tied to a wild horse, and Superman rescued him from a cliff's edge. Banker Abner Keating and his associate Dan Larson scheme to force Tumbleweed Jones to sign a pipeline contract by accusing him of fraud over his property loan, and Comanche Joe has vanished.
Tumbleweed's ranch and oil field in the West, with a balancing rock above the road, the Lost Valley Bank, and the open mesa.
Characters: Clark Kent, Superman, Jimmy Olsen, Tumbleweed Jones, Chuck Connors, Abner Keating, Dan Larson, Comanche Joe
Listen for: Superman catching the falling rock with his bare hands, and Keating's accusation of fraud against Tumbleweed Jones.
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.
