What happens
Clark Kent and Professor Thorpe aboard the Juanita learn that a rival, Pete Escobar, is also after the treasure, and Kent devises a plan. Captain Maddox takes Wolf Cleland's place and, with Kent, goes to the Paradise Cafe to meet Escobar and offer their services. Kent poses as a deep sea diver and is taken into Escobar's confidence, learning that the target is a sunken gold cargo at the bottom of Octopus Bay. Later, Escobar's gang plans to seize the ship, and Professor Thorpe reveals his long-hidden reason for seeking the gold. This episode of The Adventures of Superman, first aired on August 30, 1940, finds the crew facing an armed launch approaching in the darkness.

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.
