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.

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.
