What happens

Superman, Batman and Robin are searching for two stolen pieces of kryptonite and a secret criminal ring that marks its contacts with a crescent moon and star. Following an informer named Squeely Evers, Batman and Robin enter the Golden Lily nightclub, where they focus on singer Gloria Garrett, who wears a jeweled crescent ornament in her hair. When Gloria leaves hurriedly after receiving an envelope from a waiter, the heroes grab hold of the rear bumper of her car. Superman follows Squeely Evers in a separate pursuit. From The Adventures of Superman, a 1945 radio serial, this part of the story follows the trail toward an unknown destination.

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.
