True to his threat, the mad scientist, whose warnings have held the city in a grip of terror,

went on his rampage of destruction on the stroke of midnight.

The deadly impact of his mysterious ray smashed the famous tower bridge,

hurling cars and pedestrians into the river below.

The police have warned everyone to remain in their homes.

This looks like a job for Superman. Hello and welcome to a bonus episode of Down These Mean Streets and another installment in our Super Summer series.

Today we continue the thrilling story of Superman versus Kryptonite with the next five chapters

of the adventure.

As we join the Man of Steel today, he's escaped from the clutches of Big George Latimer,

but exposure to Kryptonite has robbed Superman of his memory.

He'll soon end up with a new identity, and, thanks to his superpowers, a new job.

I'll be back on Sunday with another regular podcast episode, but for now,

here are the next five installments of Superman versus Kryptonite,

as they originally aired on Mutual between June 4th and June 10th, 1947.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,

able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird.

It's a plane!

It's Superman!
