What happens
Jimmy Olsen and Chuck Barrett, the young boy king of Moravia, are held prisoner in a warehouse by Count Manek and his henchman Pavlov. Manek demands that Chuck sign papers giving up his throne so that Moravia's oil fields can fall to the Nazi-sympathizing faction. Jimmy urges Chuck to refuse and then devises a plan involving the fountain pen Manek offers. Meanwhile Clark Kent and Lois Lane at the Daily Planet learn that the private train car was engaged by Dr. Nicholas Traeger, the Moravian ambassador, and set out to reach him. The episode is part three of The Adventures of Superman, a radio serial, first broadcast on April 18, 1945.
A dimly lit warehouse office on the Metropolis waterfront, and the Daily Planet offices in Metropolis.
Characters: Jimmy Olsen, Chuck Barrett, Count Manek, Pavlov, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White, Dr. Nicholas Traeger
Listen for: Jimmy's plan with the fountain pen and the moment he must choose between staying with the injured Chuck and going for help.
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.
