Synopsis:
Clark Kent is assigned to report on Kidtown, a place for underpriveledged children. Clark feels bad because Kidtown will be forces to close unless they raise two million dollars in two weeks. Clark pledges to help save Kidtown.

Clark has one million dollars that he earned from an oil well scandal, so he only needs to raise another million. After preventing a bank robbery and saving a wealthy man’s life, he quickly earns fifteen thousand more.

Clark then learns of a sunken treasure ship, so he takes a vacation to look for it. Two rival gangs also hear about the treasure. One gang infiltrates Clark’s crew aboard ship, while the other steals a submarine. Clark, as Superman, outwits both gangs and returns with the gold bullion from the ship. Turning over the money to Kidtown, the youth center is saved.
