This time out Superman tackles gambling. After rescuing a desperate man who's life was ruined by gambling, Superman decides to remove the problem. After busting up casinos and other dens of vice, Superman brings the fight to the big man himself, Jack O'Leary.
O'Leary does the usual (shooting, throwing a pistol, etc.) but Superman scares him and the corrupt police commissioner Watson out of town.
Again, a pretty basic story by this point.
