What happens
Clark Kent and Lois Lane find Perry White shut inside his locked office at the Daily Planet, where a stranger named Homer Smith has arrived with a letter signed by publisher John W. Grayson. The letter claims full authority over the paper's editorial policy. Smith orders the paper to drop its support for the World Peace Federation, and White refuses. Grayson, a longtime friend of White, appears to have changed his position, and when White confronts him he insists that Smith now speaks for the paper. Clark leaves White's company convinced that something strange is happening behind the scenes at the Planet. The series is The Adventures of Superman, and this installment first aired on August 1, 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.
