What happens
Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen investigate a strange mystery at the Daily Planet. Editor Perry White has sent Clark to a rooming house on Clover Street with ten thousand dollars, and Lois Lane has gone missing from her apartment, which was found in disarray. Clark is puzzled by a phone call from Lois asking for more money, and by the fact that the Clover Street house has no telephone listing. The Adventures of Superman is a radio series, and this episode is part two of the story titled The Story of the Century, first aired on April 2, 1946. The episode ends with Lois Lane arriving at the office, seemingly unaware of the trouble, while the mystery remains unresolved.

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.
