Synopsis:
Clark Kent and Lois Lane visit a boys' club for the wealthy. Clark recognizes the owner S. Andrew Bascomb. When a jewel robbery occurs the following evening involving the father of one of the boys, Clark realizes that Bascomb is Slippery Andy, a crook.

Without evidence against Andy, Superman waits until the next day when the crooks rob a bank belonging to another boy's father. The Man of Steel stops the robbery, and the crooks flee back to the boys' club. Superman confronts and captures them there.

As a result of Superman's actions, he also convinces one of the boys, Mortimer Riggs-Biddle III that he exists. Mortimer had been a snob, but Superman influences him to change. With Bascomb caught, the club is renamed the Superman Boys' Club and members from all income levels are welcome.
