What happens

Clark Kent and Inspector Henderson trail Lois Lane through Metropolis after she collects an atomizer from a jewelry shop, a package the police believe is meant for Mr. Jones. Following her by taxi, they lose sight of her briefly and then track her to a large brick church on Christmas Eve. Inside, they watch as Lois joins the choir, and they notice the choir leader, a slender man in nose glasses. The police begin to suspect that this man may be the criminal Jones they have been seeking. The episode of The Adventures of Superman is part fifteen of the Looking for Kryptonite storyline, originally broadcast on December 24, 1945.

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.
