Clark Kent is surprised when Lois Lane agrees to go on a date with him. Before their outing, Lois makes a donation to the Brentwood Rehabilitation Home for Wayward Boys. Clark is suspicious of the institution and believes its administrators care more about money than the children they are supposed to help.

When Clark and Lois visit the home, they encounter a young boy named Davey Merrill, who reveals the terrible conditions inside. Lois begins investigating and discovers evidence of mistreatment. When she is captured, Superman steps in to expose the corrupt administrators and bring their operation to an end.

The issue also features several classic Golden Age adventure stories starring Pep Morgan, the Black Pirate, Tex Thomson, Clip Carson, Zatara, and others.
