Synopsis:
Retired manufacturer Brent Matthews has purchased an old indian tower which he plans to disassemble and rebuild on his own property. The indians are upset with Matthews and repeatedly threaten him. Superman protects Matthews and saves him from indian attacks. Finally, Superman moves the tower himself.

Still the attacks upon Matthews do not stop. Superman apprehends a gang of kidnappers, but they can't reveal the name of their boss before they die. Finally an indian kidnaps both Matthews and Lois and takes them to the top of the tower. Superman rescues them, but the tower collapses. The indian is caught in the crash and is revealed as Lemuel P. Potts, an indian historian. Potts had discovered that treasure was hidden in the tower and wanted to retrieve it before Matthews found it, prompting him to incite the indians.
