What happens

Batman and Robin are trapped in a stateroom aboard Mr. Grayson's yacht, which villain Paul Marsh has set on fire. Robin's grandfather, Mr. Grayson, is weak and in need of help, and the smoke is spreading through the ship. Batman and Robin must find a way out while the crew abandons the vessel in a launch. Meanwhile Superman searches the sea for his friends, following a trail from the harbor lighthouse. This episode of The Adventures of Superman, a radio serial first broadcast on October 14, 1946, is part thirteen of the story.

Aboard Mr. Grayson's burning yacht at sea, and later the sinking Batboat on the open ocean, near Metropolis.

Characters: Batman, Robin, Mr. Grayson, Paul Marsh, Superman, Alfred

Listen for: Batman's plan to escape the burning stateroom, and Superman's discovery of the sinking Batboat with the injured Alfred aboard.

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.
