What happens

Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen and Tumbleweed Jones follow the trail of the Silver Arrows near the ghost town of Deadman's Gulch. In a cave they find a third arrow hidden in a buffalo skull, engraved with a riddle. A landslide traps Clark and Jimmy inside, and Clark clears a way out. Outside, they search for Tumbleweed, who has vanished, and hear faint cries coming from a shack in the ghost town. The episode belongs to The Adventures of Superman and is part three of the Silver Arrow storyline. The transcript does not give the cast or original network. The episode ends with Clark about to open a door in a second-floor room.

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.
