Explorer Allen Cartright is murdered in his home. Harold Denton, his secretary, is arrested for the crime. Denton tells Superman that he is innocent, so he tries to find proof. Cartright's former butler Higgins learns the identity of the real killer, but he is also murdered. Denton then remembers other murder attempts on Cartright. Superman finds races around the globe collecting the evidence before Denton can be executed in the electric chair. Superman finds the evidence and saves Denton. The real killer is Jane Cartright, Allen's niece, who wanted to inherit her uncle's money.
