Synopsis:
The Martian Manhunter prevents officer Danny Jensen from capturing several crooks by taking in the criminals himself. Jensen will win a trip to Europe with his next capture, so everyone is angry with J’onn for stealing Jensen’s glory. J’onn continues to follow Jensen until he is led to some crooks which are working with the officer. J’onn bursts in and captures the crooks, forcing them to reveal the location of the real Danny Jensen. A crook, Biff Stearns, had replaced Jensen in order to smuggle some loot to Europe on the prize trip. J’onn was alerted to the scheme and stopped the crook from getting away with it. The real Jensen is freed and awarded his prize for helping capture Stearns.
