What happens
Clark Kent and Captain Maddox are aboard the Juanita during a violent hurricane that threatens the ship near the dangerous Shark's Tooth rock. Below the surface, Professor Thorpe and diver Gleason are trapped inside their bathysphere, which is being dragged across the rough ocean floor. Meanwhile, the villainous Escobar and his assistant Carlos watch from shore, hoping the storm will wreck the ship so they can claim the sunken Spanish gold. The Juanita's crew struggles to hold position as the storm rages, and Kent slips away during the chaos. The Adventures of Superman is a radio serial from 1940, and this installment originally aired on September 6, 1940.
A tropical bay during a hurricane, aboard the ship Juanita near the Shark's Tooth rock, with the sunken bathysphere on the ocean floor fifty fathoms down.
Characters: Clark Kent, Captain Maddox, Professor Thorpe, Gleason, Escobar, Carlos
Listen for: The sudden loss of contact with the bathysphere and the discovery that its cable is empty.
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.
