Synopsis:
Green Lantern investigates the collapse of a new building. Evidence shows that cheap materials were used in its construction. GL learns that the Livingston Construction Company was responsible, so he reports it to the mayor.
The mayor is working with Livingston, so he has Nick Darcy, the man GL questioned, killed. Then he blamed GL for the crime.
When a bridge built by the construction company collapses, Green Lantern prevents a disaster and saves the people. His good deed clears his name, then he exposes the construction company and the mayor, turning them over to the district attorney.
