What happens

Clark Kent investigates the disappearance of Tumbleweed Jones from a hospital room after Jones is wounded while helping Sidney Reichroft. Kent learns that the hotel register shows no record of Miss Reichroft, and a room she supposedly used is a storage closet. Kent finds footprints outside Jones's window showing that he left the hospital with another man. Jones is then forced into a car by a gunman who drives quickly through the snow, and the episode ends with the car crashing into a river. The episode is part of The Adventures of Superman, a radio series, and was first broadcast on January 24, 1941.

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.
