What happens

Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen follow John Lacy to a cemetery in Montreal, where they believe the smuggler Le Fevre is buried. Inside, they find a mausoleum bearing his name and overhear a man's voice speaking of a last flight. Jimmy climbs a tree to look through a barred window, but a branch breaks and he falls. Discovered, the two are taken inside the mausoleum by men who seem to know them. Meanwhile Clark Kent, back at the hotel, learns from the desk that his companions have left and sets out to find them. This is the 1945 chapter of The Adventures of Superman, and this guide covers only its opening portion.

Montreal, including a cemetery and a mausoleum, and later the hotel where Clark Kent is staying.

Characters: Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Clark Kent, John Lacy, Le Fevre

Listen for: Jimmy's fall from the tree and the men who discover him and Lois inside the mausoleum.

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.
