Clark Kent and Lois Lane meet Lucky O’Grady, a successful businessman from the slums. Lucky’s success is attributed to his incredible luck which never turns against him. However, racketeers engineer a scheme to turn Lucky’s luck bad, when Lucky chooses to back political candidate Carlton Shipley.

The campaign against Lucky is successful and causes him to lose his fortune. Superman intervenes and proves that Lucky was the victim of the racketeers. Lucky returns and regains his influence. With Superman’s help the racket is exposed, and the crooks are arrested.
