Ladies and gentlemen, gather round your radio because tonight's broadcast crackles with danger, deception, and the thunderous flap of a cape as Ed and Steeven take a look at The Plot of Count Begac, the fourth and final Superman tale from Superman #11!

When mild-mannered Clark Kent rescues department-store heiress Patricia Randall, he stumbles into a web of fraud, false brides, and a Count with a smile like a razor. Hearts race, pearls vanish, a speeding roadster tumbles off a cliff, and only one man can save the day.

Superman! 

What can you expect from this episode?

How about leaping narration, breathless asides, and more cliffhangers than a skyscraper skyline?

You want more?

Well, we also got a staged engagement that hands corporate control to a crook, a chandelier-perched hero nicking the evidence, and a daring mid-air rescue from a scheming gang’s “sky vessel.”

But wait, there's more!

Perry White gruffs and rips up copy, Clark fights for justice (and maybe a little recognition), and the truth (like lightning) strikes the conspirators down. 

The Plot of Count Bergac is equal parts pulpy romance, high-flying action, and golden-age melodrama, all served with the Ed and Steeven's affectionate, witty commentary.

If you like your heroes square-jawed, your plots twisty, and your endings theatrical, Episode 94 is pure, crackling radio gold.

Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.
