A visit from an eccentric friend of Perry White and a dying man’s last words leads Clark Kent westward (again) to investigate a mystery! And that mystery leads Clark — and Superman — into trying to stop an assassination attempt against the governor at the dedication of a new national monument. But can Superman stop the plot when he doesn’t even know what it is or who is resonsible? Find out as Michael is joined yet again by Charlie Niemeyer for a look at eighth storyline from the Superman radio serial.
