What happens

Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen plan to infiltrate a gang of young toughs led by Mugs, who is suspected of stirring up hatred against a neighborhood building fund. Jimmy will disguise himself and try to join the gang to learn who is behind the threatening letters, the fire and the beating of Danny O'Neill. Kent drops Jimmy off near a pool room on the corner of sixth and walnut, reminding him to call or visit before ten and promising that Superman will be ready if needed. The story is part seven of The Adventures of Superman, a radio serial from 1946, and the transcript does not give the original air date or cast information. Jimmy sets out on his first step into the gang.

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.
