What happens

Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen have freed Professor Julius Browning, a radiology expert, from a dungeon on Volcano Island, where Dr. Deutsch forced him to run the radium mines. On the island, Deutsch lures ships onto Dead Man's Reef by moving the channel lights, then sinks the wrecks so no evidence remains. Clark witnesses a near-wreck that is averted by a mysterious force, and the trio hides in the tunnels. Clark plans to find Deutsch's central office and listen in on his plans. Deutsch learns the ship escaped and increases the miners' hours. The episode ends with Deutsch ordering the air pumped out of tunnel number seven, where the trio is hiding. This is an episode of The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast June 9, 1941.

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.
