What happens
Clark Kent, as a sharp-witted reporter, becomes convinced that a string of puzzling disappearances is part of a practical joke. Lois Lane's apartment has been turned upside down, a house appears and vanishes, and Jimmy Olsen and Perry White seem to have disappeared with a large sum of money. Kent suspects his friends are behind the mystery. Batman and private detective Candy Myers are also involved. This is Part 7 of The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on April 9, 1946, with the series' radio cast.
Metropolis, including Lois Lane's apartment, police headquarters, and Perry White's house in the suburb of Brentwood.

Listen for: Clark Kent's reasoning as he works out that the mystery is an April Fool's joke, and his plan to turn the tables on his friends.
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.
