What happens
Superman visits Algernon Phillips, a gentle music teacher who is acting as go-between for his criminal twin brother, to negotiate the return of two stolen pieces of kryptonite. Phillips asks Superman to prove his identity by lifting his grand piano, then asks him to write a refusal to a deal on paper. The episode is a Superman radio serial, first broadcast on January 3, 1946. As Superman reaches for the pen, he suddenly grows weak, and he begins to realize something is wrong in the room.
Algernon Phillips's music studio in an apartment, where Superman meets the music teacher and a sinister ink bottle sits on the desk.
Characters: Superman, Algernon Phillips, Mr. Jones, Batman, Robin, Tara
Listen for: The moment Superman realizes the ink contains kryptonite, and Mr. Jones revealing himself in the role of Phillips.
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.
