Synopsis:
When crooks rob the safe of steel magnate C. Granford Jamieson, Hawkman interrupts the robbery. While Hawkman battles the thieves, Jamieson's secretary Aaron Moore escapes with the stolen money. Moore hides the money, and his conscience bothers him. He moves to a remote cabin to paint afraid to return to the city.

Hawkman follows Moore and finds the stolen money. Realizing that Moore is bothered by his crime, Hawkman makes an arrangement with Jamieson to let the artist stay in the cabin for a year. In the meantime, Hawkman helps sell Moore's paintings making him a famous artist.

When Moore hears that his artwork has become popular he returns to the city. Crooks find him and make him lead them to the hidden loot. Since Hawkman found it first, the money is gone. Fortunately Hawkman finds Moore in time to save him from the crooks. Moore then thanks Hawkman for helping him.
