Superman / Frontier Gentleman (Old Time Radio Variety)

This edition of Classic Radio Rewind delivers two standout adventures from opposite corners of classic radio—one a high‑stakes mystery featuring the Man of Steel, the other a tense Western tale from the rugged American frontier.

We begin with Superman and the thrilling 1949 mystery “The Diamond of Death” (12-16-49). Clark Kent and Lois Lane arrive at the Fairmount estate just as a priceless African diamond—destined for young heiress Alice Fairmount—is targeted by a deadly criminal plot. A prowler in the shadows, a murdered chauffeur, and a masquerade party filled with secrets push Superman into a race against time to expose the killer and protect the family from danger lurking within their own walls.

Then we ride west with Frontier Gentleman for “The Claim Jumpers” (3-9-58). When English journalist J.B. Kendall encounters a young prospector who’s struck real gold, trouble follows fast. Three ruthless opportunists set their sights on stealing the boy’s claim, leading to a tense nighttime trap, a violent confrontation, and a stark reminder that justice on the frontier is often swift—and unforgiving.
