What happens
Clark Kent and Lois Lane investigate a fortune-teller and a lawyer suspected of running an inheritance racket against Miss Louisa Lane, a spinster who believes she has inherited a fortune. Lois is confronted in her apartment by Pinky, a henchman who demands a letter that could expose the scheme. Meanwhile, Clark travels to South Africa to check the claim with the probate clerk and the vital statistics office. The Adventures of Superman is a radio series, and this episode is part five of a multi-part story, first broadcast on January 15, 1947. The lead actors are not named in the transcript.

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.
