Synopsis:
Clark Kent and Lois Lane trail a gang of crooks to a warehouse. The crooks find out they have been followed and that Clark has overheard their plan. They chase the reporters, but Clark pretends that Superman arrives and kills him. Consequently, the Man of Steel is arrested for murder.

Superman is sent to prison and with Kent out of the way, the crooks carry out their plans as scheduled. When their leader arrives Superman captures the gang. Clark then turns up alive and reveals that his death was a hoax to catch the gang leader.
