What happens
Jimmy Olsen and Professor Timothy Twiddle travel to the moon in the professor's radar rocket, expecting a brief trip back to Metropolis. Their rocket lands and stops, leaving them stranded. Exploring the barren surface, they encounter small, shaggy creatures with monkey tails and drilling noses that burrow up from underground. The creatures attack the rocket, and the explorers are left wondering how to survive. The Adventures of Superman is a radio series, and this episode aired on February 25, 1946.

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.
