If you ever want to get the exact text of a "Jeopardy!" clue, you can go to
j-archive.com <http://j-archive.com/>, which generally posts each day's game
pretty quickly (often before it airs in much of the country).
The category was Radio History, and the clue read:
A 1949 broadcast in Spanish of this drama from 11 years before caused mass
panic in Ecuador & the destruction of the radio station
It was on the front page of the New York Times on February 14, 1949 ("'Mars
Raiders' Cause Quito Panic; Mob Burns Radio Plant, Kills 15") -- not an urban
legend. (Many of the stories about panic caused by the 1938 U.S. version were
what we would today call clickbait, but it was a different story in Ecuador.)
