Synopsis:
Cyrus Gorson, the Commissioner of Public Works, is grafting on city works projects by giving contracts to his secret partner, Muller Contractors. Alan Scott, who works for a rival construction company, is outraged. He confronts both Gorson and Muller, but is later shot by Muller’s goons. Fortunately, Scott’s power ring protects him from injury. He then confronts the racketeers as Green Lantern, eventually getting Gorson to confess. Muller shoots and kills his partner, and Green Lantern turns over Muller to the police.
