What happens
Clark Kent, disguised as Superman, pursues the white derelict Pango Pete through the Central American jungle to recover the leather pouches of antidote stolen from the rubber plantation where John Carter lay poisoned. Meanwhile, in Metropolis, the football team is drugged by a native potion, and Coach Spike Taylor and Professor Nelson wait anxiously on the sidelines as the game enters its final minutes. The episode is part fifteen of The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on October 3, 1941. The story is presented as a serial installment, with the stolen antidote and the team's fate both still unresolved when this part ends.

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.
