A pneumonia epidemic strikes the city. The hospitals can not afford an serum because a gangster, Boss Filch has stolen city funds. Green Lantern tries to force Filch to turn the funds over, but he fails. Instead GL begins a campaign to raise the money. He is successful, and a new shipment is ordered. Filch’s son comes down with pneumonia as well, so GL makes him confess in exchange for the serum. Green Lantern then apprehends the remaining crooks and locates the evidence against them.
