Writer Dan Judd decides to research his latest crime novel by actually becoming a criminal. He finds a gang and calls himself Mister Twister. His crime spree brings him to the attention of Superman, but Judd escapes by forcing Superman to rescue bystanders. When Judd's gang learn that he is writing a story about them, they double-cross and rob him. Superman deduces Mister Twister's identity and rescues him, then rounds up the gang. Judd is sent to prison where he decides to write a novel on prison life.
