I love the Adventures of Superman series so much that out of respect I can't rate any episode less than 7/10 but this one is a bit too much of a stretch and confusing as well. I suppose home tape recorders were new technology at the time so they decided to incorporate its use in an episode but it's a complicated tale of inspector Henderson's son, his tape recorder, a safe, an alarm system at police headquarters and unsolved robberies. It confused me greatly as a kid and even now you have to think a bit to figure out how the crimes were supposedly committed.
The resolution involves solving a clue left by the son in the form of strips of tape that when spliced on a tape reel has the cast playing a version of charades to figure out what the son was trying to convey. First there is no way to know where a particular sound is in an inch or two of tape and if he had the time to locate exactly the right sounds for the game of charades why didn't he just write down the two words somewhere?
Finally another reviewer wrote that this was a funny episode and "Olsen had just spilled an entire pot of glue over his boss". This was a serious episode without laughs and there was no scene of Olson spilling a pot of glue on Mr. White. I don't know what that person was watching but the comment made me re-watch the Perry White scene again looking for the pot of glue scene. It wasn't there.
