Synopsis:
Percival Popp responds to a newspaper ad promising money for nothing. Many responders are turned away, but Popp is the only one dumb enough to qualify. He is given one thousand dollars to spend by Chizzeler, the man who placed the ad. The following day, Popp receives another thousand dollars. However, when he tries to spend it, he is arrested.

The money Popp was given was marked as having been used as ransom money for John Griffin, a kidnap victim. The police don't believe Popp's story about how he received the money. The Spectre breaks Popp out of jail and together the two track down Chizzeler and his gang. They rescue Griffin, and his statement is enough to get Popp cleared of charges.
