Synopsis:
The Adventures of Superman is a radio serial that aired from 1940 to 1950. Every episode has a runtime of about 12 - 15 minutes, including an intro and an outro, a commercial break and rather long recaps as well as scenes of repetitive or expositional dialog. You're basically left with about 6 to 7 minutes of actual story. I removed all of the unnecessary stuff and turned eleven episodes into one. I also added sound effects and musical cues from John Williams' score (plus a few seconds of Hans Zimmer). The 11 episodes I picked are the beginning of a 76 episode story arc; the longest sequence the show ever did. It's the story of The Scarlet Widow stealing the only existing piece of Kryptonite and splitting it between four of Superman's enemies. One part of the Kryptonite is stolen by Der Teufel, a crazy Nazi scientist, to power The Atom Man.

Change List:
Too many to mention and yet too uninteresting to list them all. I cut some episodes down to four minutes, if I felt they were too drawn out. In other cases it was just single lines or words I cut. The sound quality of the original files is a little rough at times. If you are annoyed by a constant crackling, this is not for you. First I tried to clean up the files, but then I realized that it's a huge part of why I love them in the first place. Nostalgia, I guess. Since this was recorded in the 1940's with one microphone, the volume levels of the actors tend to vary. I tried to fix it, but it's still audible at times. You can find the original episodes for free and legal DL on various websites.
