Synopsis:
Lois Lane notices a message for help in the backgrounds of several newspaper ads. Her inquiries lead her to the home of artist Emery King. Although she is unable to see King, she peeks into the studio through the skylight. Inside she sees Big Larkin and a gang of counterfeiters. The crooks see Lois, but she is able to defend herself until the police arrive. King had been held prisoner by the counterfeiters who were using him to make phony currency.
