What happens

Clark Kent brings the frightened editor Perry White and Lois Lane's Siamese cat to his apartment, hoping the cat will reveal where Lois and Jimmy Olsen have gone. The cat seems to speak in a human voice, warning Kent against White. White becomes agitated, and Kent sends him into the bedroom and then calls him back. Kent believes he has found a way to explain how the cat talks. This is part 10 of The Adventures of Superman, first broadcast on January 22, 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.
