Synopsis:
Rumors circulate about the death of crime boss Willie Wanger. Detective John Jones quits the police force when he is blamed for failing to capture Wanger. Jones then competes for the position as the new crime boss. Using his powers, John sabotages the other crooks' attempts to earn the position. When he is elected, John learns that Wanger is still alive. When Wanger reveals himself to John, the police arrive and Wanger is arrested. John's criminal activities were a hoax to smoke out Wanger.
