The Crooked Oil Association, Part Eight (Superman EP0255)|Superhero Audio Drama

In this gripping installment of the Old Time Radio Superman Show, the stakes reach a fever pitch as Abner Chaney, the corrupt banker, attempts to eliminate Tumbleweed Jones and cover up his crimes. With Comanche Joe dead and Tumbleweed imprisoned, Chaney orchestrates a plan to have Jones killed by being tied to a horse and driven into a quicksand pit. However, Dan Lawson, one of Chaney's henchmen, has a change of heart and turns on his employer, escaping with vital information. Meanwhile, Clark Kent, disguised as Superman, arrives at the Comanche Indian Reservation to investigate the murder of Comanche Joe. He confronts Joe's grieving father, Chief Cheap Running Fox, and attempts to gather forensic evidence by retrieving a bullet from the body—though tribal customs prevent him from disturbing the corpse. Back at the ranch, Jimmy Olsen and the wounded Lawson are trapped in the bunkhouse as Chaney and Sheriff Chuck Connors close in, setting up a dramatic showdown. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the heroes hanging in the balance.
