What happens

Clark Kent and Lois Lane travel to the Bar O Ranch after Jimmy Olsen reports a strange ghost car causing a series of accidents. Their rented car is nearly run off the road by a vehicle that leaves no tracks behind. At the ranch, the manager and owner describe mounting misfortunes that began about three weeks earlier. Kent persuades the local sheriff to keep the road open for a few days so the ghost car can be caught. Late that night, Lois cries out for help, and Kent and Jimmy rush to her aid. The episode is part two of The Ghost Car from The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on February 11, 1942.

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.
