Synopsis:
The newspapers of Metropolis call for the firing of Police Commissioner Kennedy, due to his inability to stop rampant racketeering. His replacements are all assassinated soon after taking office. The Mayor then decides to make Clark Kent, the new commissioner.

An assassin tries to kill Clark too, but his super powers enable him to survive. The police summon Clark to a jeweler where they have received a tip about a robbery. Clark slips away to become Superman, then returns to stop the crooks, which are led by Kennedy, the former Commissioner. With Kennedy captured, Clark retires from office and resumes his job at the Daily Planet.
