What happens
Batman and Robin remain trapped in a basement chamber whose steel ceiling is slowly lowering toward them, while Superman searches for them. Clark Kent and Inspector Henderson investigate Charlie Patsy, owner of the Golden Lily nightclub, who has been found dead in the harbor. Kent connects the case to a mysterious crescent moon and star symbol and to a woman named Gloria Garrett, whose identity cannot be confirmed. The episode is part of The Adventures of Superman radio series, first broadcast on December 17, 1945. The story ends on a cliffhanger as Kent prepares a plan involving a telephone and a phonograph record.
A bogus sanitarium near Metropolis with a basement dungeon called Room Zero, and the Golden Lily nightclub on the Metropolis waterfront.
Characters: Batman, Robin, Clark Kent, Inspector Henderson, Superman, Charlie Patsy, Gloria Garrett, Squeely
Listen for: The steel ceiling creeping down toward Batman and Robin, and Clark Kent's plan to use a phonograph record to lure a call from the crescent and star gang.
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.
