What happens

Clark Kent investigates a series of hate-filled pamphlets and violence at Metropolis High School, following a murder and the false arrest of two athletes. Jimmy Olsen and Jack Wilson track a suspicious man who handed out the pamphlets, and he invites them to join his group. Clark instructs the boys to call him once a meeting is arranged, and the evening meeting at a lunch wagon begins. This is The Adventures of Superman, an episode from March 7, 1947, from the Kellogg's Pep sponsored radio series, with the lead cast credited in the broadcast. The boys' plan goes wrong when the man arrives at the lunch wagon early.

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.
