What happens

Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White and Jimmy Olsen are in a hotel room with Princess Red Fakin, who has said her homeland is Illyria. A clue about the nurse's Columbian origin suggests Illyria lies somewhere in South America. Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White and Jimmy Olsen agree to fly there, with Clark and Jimmy boarding a plane for the journey. Once airborne, Clark notices the plane is flying off course. The pilot turns hostile and holds a gun on Clark and Jimmy, and the episode ends with Superman seemingly helpless. This is part eleven of The Adventures of Superman serial.

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.
