Synopsis:
Gangster, Big Mike Caputo, has decided to come to Metropolis. The police chief meets with Caputo in an attempt to keep him out of town, but the hood is unwillingly to give up his plan. Caputo meets with several other crooks in town, all of whom are afraid of Superman. Big Mike believes Superman to be nothing more than an ordinary man, but when the Man of Steel shows up to challenge Caputo, he learns the truth. Superman engages in a physical fight with the gangster, the loser of which must leave town. Superman easily wins embarrassing Caputo and chasing him from Metropolis.
