Synopsis:
Superman stops a robbery as two men try to break in to the vault of tycoon Cyrus Brand. A short time later, Superman begins charging for his services. He goes into business buying and selling companies. His direct competition is Cyrus Brand. Superman makes so much money he builds his own bank to contain it. Naturally, other citizens want to make deposits at his bank too. Brand is furious over the competition and escalates his financial war with Superman. Eventually, Superman depletes Brand of cash, forcing him to get more printed by his counterfeiting partner Rembrandt Regan. Superman then shuts down the counterfeiting operation and turns both men over to the authorities. Superman's greedy behavior was a ruse to get the counterfeit bills out of circulation without creating a financial panic.
