Synopsis:
Lois Lane is suspected of murdering a jewel collector when she is found near the body of the man. Superman, wishing to help Lois prove her innocence, gathers the other suspects which include: John and Henry Davis, the victim’s nephews, and Burkley, the house architect. The Man of Steel manages to gain the cooperation of the police and tricks Burkley into confessing. He had set up Lois and the others to take the blame for the crime while he escaped with the stolen jewels.
