Synopsis for "The Case of the Crime Crusade"
Clark Kent offered Lois Lane a lift to work, only to remember he left his car in the garage for repairs, and instead takes her on a street car (a cross between a train and a tram). Despite the large revenues, the company running the street cars has not replaced them for sometime, and they are worn out. The street car derails, and Clark sticks his hand out the window, lowering it gently. The police say the accident wouldn't have occurred if the car wasn't so old. Clark writes an article exposing the problems with the street cars and calling for reform. The president of the Metropolis Railway Company, Hugh Manton, accuses the Planet of libel. Clark and Lois set out to prove the charges correct. They photograph a street car under repair, but they are attacked by the workers. Clark steps in as Superman and takes Lois- and the camera- back to the Planet. They run another article in the same vein, using the pictures as evidence. Civic reformer Dan Bransom asks to see Clark, and offers his support. They and Lois visit the mayor, who promises to bring the matter to the city council. The council and the Railway Company's representatives argue for days with no agreement. Back at the office, Clark gets a phone call telling him of an imminent street car accident. Changing to Superman, he catches and rights the car before it can smash, and finds evidence of sabotage. He is accused of derailing the car and flies off. Later, Clark gets another phone call from the same man offering to tell all. He meets the man as Superman, but before the informant can tell, he is blown up. Later, Clark tells Lois that he's learnt one of the street cars was sabotaged. They tell Bransom, who blames someone with a grudge against the company. When Clark gets his car back from the garage, he and Lois take it out to check it's in good condition, and someone forces it off the side of a mountain road. Clark catches the car, and tells Lois it was Superman. They deduce that the attempted murderer was someone who wanted to stop them investigating the sabotage. Meanwhile, the president of Railway Company refuses to do anything about the street cars. Superman pays him a visit, and shows him that, even though his company can provide financial compensation, lives are being wrecked by his unsafe street cars. At the council, he announces that he will replace the street cars with buses as quickly as he can. But Bransom demands he does so immediately. Suspicious as to why the reformer would hinder the proceedings, Superman follows and hears him order a mass sabotage. He stops the defective street cars from leaving and captures the saboteur. He takes him to a radio interviewer and forces him to confess, naming Bransom as his employer. Bransom flees, meeting Lois. He takes her hostage in her own car and drives off. Superman follows, stops Bransom from murdering Lois and takes her and Bransom to the police.
