The Adventures of Superman: Stabbing of June Anderson (1940)
Season 1
Show notes
Clark Kent waits at City Hospital for a young woman rescued from the burning Sterling Tower to recover enough to say who she is. Her identity is still unknown, and police believe the fire was set on purpose. Meanwhile, two men in a black sedan worry that the woman may talk. Kent learns she has spoken of a car and two men, and he follows a car on the highway, where he stops a vehicle that turns out to be a police car. Back at the hospital, two visitors claiming to be the woman's relatives slip past the nurse, and a violent struggle follows. The story is part of the radio series The Adventures of Superman, and this installment is broadcast on March 6, 1940.
With Clark Kent, Superman, Nurse Gray, Dr. Peter, Joe, Max.

Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet, rushes with the photographer Mike to a fire in the Sterling Tower. Word has come that a girl is trapped on the twentieth floor, and the fire marshal suspects the blaze may have been set deliberately. Kent and Mike set up near the burning building to get photographs, while Kent keeps watch for the editor's calls. As the wall begins to crack, a girl appears at a window high above the street, but the firemen below cannot see her. Kent is left to wonder about her story, and about the man he believes he saw flying from the window, as the episode ends with her being carried to an ambulance and her words unexplained.
