Synopsis:
Danny Malone, the son of a beat cop, is framed by criminal Gardenia Greene and sent to prison. His own father does not believe that Danny is innocent, so when Danny is released, he plans on turning into a real criminal.
On the way to committ his first robbery, Danny sees a robbery and murder committed by other crooks. Danny helps Green Lantern apprehend them and explains his story. Danny agrees to work with Green Lantern to clear his name.
Danny pretends to join Gardenia’s gang. When the Gardenia asks Danny to kill his own father, Danny agrees. Gardenia then double-croosses Danny, by shooting him. Gardenia then confesses the frame-up to his henchmen, Joe. Green Lantern then reveals that he is disguised as Joe, and the guns which killed Danny and his father were loaded with blanks. Danny is cleared and Gardenia is arrested.
