Synopsis:
A series of daring robberies are committed by several dope addicts. Superman trails one of the crooks, Nate Grant, back to his boss and supplier, John Parrone. The Man of Steel sets a trap for Parrone and catches him in the act of a robbery. When the case goes to trial, Parrone’s lawyer gets him off on a technicality.

Lois Lane who was also involved in Parrone’s capture is invited to Parrone’s club with Clark Kent. Nate bursts into the club making accusations against Parrone, so Parrone and his lawyer, Brokenshire, kill Nate. Superman steps in to prevent them from disposing of the body. The police are called and the crooks are arrested, caught red-handed.
