What happens

Dr. Bly, a cunning gang leader hiding out at Playland amusement park in Metropolis, schemes to have Lois Lane take the blame for a shooting committed by Dixie Lamar, whom Lois resembles. Posing as press agent Mr. Hemingway, he invites Lois to Playland as a guest of honor. Lois arrives with Jimmy Olsen and Dick Grayson, who notices a sedan that seems to be following them. Mr. Hemingway guides the group toward a boat ride called the River of Horrors, and the episode ends with Lois vanishing into a dark tunnel. This is part two of the Adventures of Superman broadcast on September 6, 1945, from the Kellogg's Pep-sponsored radio series.

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.
