What happens

Jimmy Olsen, stranded aboard a radio-controlled seaplane during a violent storm, is being flown toward a volcano island by remote control. Clark Kent, who suspects Jimmy is on the plane, pursues it through the rain. Dr. Deutsch, a spy leader, has ordered the plane sent into the crater, and he speaks of a master plan for domination. Jimmy keeps his mongrel dog Storm close as the plane tosses and loses altitude. The Adventures of Superman radio serial, first broadcast on June 2, 1941, continues with this part of the story.

A stormy sea and a radio-controlled seaplane heading toward a volcano island, with a hideout shack and a crater on the island.

Characters: Superman, Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen, Dr. Deutsch, Hans, Storm

Listen for: The rumble of the cliff opening to admit the plane, and Deutsch's remarks about the master plan for domination.

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.
