Synopsis:
Starman battles a gang trying to rob a jewelry store. The crooks escape, but they leave clues which lead Starman to Ernie's gang. When he finds Ernie, Starman realizes that his gang were not involved in the robbery despite the clues. He deduces that another gang is setting up Ernie.

Ernie and his gang are not happy that they are being used as fall guys for a rival gang. They track down the other crooks and plan to set them up. Starman finds both gangs first and apprehends them both.
