Synopsis:
A crook named Roscoe steals a map from a sailor. The map contains the location of a sunken ship which carried a fortune in gold. Before Roscoe can setup a salvage operation, the map is lost in the street. He tries to get it back from a street cleaner, but Superman stops him.

The map is taken to the dump, so Roscoe and his boss decide to have Superman help find it. They kidnap Clark Kent hoping to blackmail Superman into helping. Superman plays along and finds the map for them. He then lets them find the ship, but instead of gold they find a swarm of wasps. The crooks allow themselves to be taken to jail rather than be stung. Superman then gives the gold to the sailor and the salvage company.
