Synopsis:
Small-time crook Johnny Aesop escapes prison. Aesop then sends clues to crimes disguised as fables to the Daily Planet. Superman stops the crimes, but Aesop escapes and kidnaps Lois. Superman learns that Aesop was an upstanding citizen until a fall injured his head. When Superman locates Lois and Aesop, he relieves the pressure on Aesop’s head, causing him to immediately reform. Superman puts in a good word for him with the courts, resulting in Aesop’s release.
