What happens
Clark Kent and his editor Perry White meet a small, odd-speaking man named Poco who arrived in a white plastic ball that fell into Metropolis. Poco says his friend Jimmy Olsen has been taken to the planet Utopia and is to be executed there by the regent Seram. Doubtful at first, the reporters accept Poco's story when he shows them Jimmy's high school ring. Time is short, and Poco needs Superman to help him. The reporters must find a way to reach the hero before the deadline passes. This episode is from the radio series The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on April 17, 1947.

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.
