Synopsis
  • After staging a series of small robberies, a gang led by a man known as the Prankster begins leaving money with bank managers. At first the gang is suspected of crimes and are arrested, but when the managers realize they are being given money, they drop the charges. The Prankster then uses his new-found fame to stage similar operations. When one bank manager allows him into the vault, the crooks begin robbing. Superman, having suspected trouble is on hand to stop the crime, but Lois is taken as a hostage. The Man of Steel replaces one of Prankster’s gang and rescues Lois, but the villain makes good on his escape.
