What happens
Superman arrives on the planet Apollo to warn its people that their world faces destruction, but he is weakened and must rely on the aged scientist Thane and his daughter Lalo. Brought before the Raz, the supreme ruler, Superman makes his case, while the court astrologers doubt his claims and suspect him of being a spirit or a spy. He tells the Raz that he came from Krypton, a planet destroyed after scientists' warnings were ignored. The Raz is unconvinced, and Superman and Thane are led away to await the ruler's judgment. The episode is part five of The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on November 12, 1946.

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.
