Superman Goes To Prison Clark Kent is sent to meet up with a man who promises a hot story. The man tells him he is escaped criminal Walter Crane, and his story has to do with cruelties suffered by him and other inmates in the Coreytown jail: beatings with whips, starvation, sweat boxes, and cramped living conditions.
Back at the prison, Superintendent Wyman is beating a prisoner when he receives word that Governor Bixby has arrived. He has read the article written by Clark Kent, and is investigating the allegations. The governor questions the prisoners, who all keep silent for fear of being tortured.
Superintendent Wyman makes his way to Metropolis, where he questions Clark Kent about where he got his information. He lets him know that harboring a fugitive makes a person an accessory to the crime. Kent, acting the coward as usual, tells the Superintendent where Walter Crane is staying.
Wyman goes there and beats up Walter Crane. When Kent returns to the office, all the other reporters have shunned him. He tells the chief he did it so that they could gather more evidence against Superintendent Wyman.
Superman makes his way to Coreytown, purchases a car, and crashes it into Wyman's car. He then beats Wyman up so that he will be arrested. He is sentenced to 6 months in jail. All attempts to punish him fail. At night he escapes out of the jail, gets a camera, put his Superman outfit on, and sneaks back in. He arrives just in time to see Walter Crane attempting to escape. He makes good progress until he gets stuck in quicksand in the swamp.
Superman walks into the quicksand and pulls Crane out. He returns Crane to the prison and takes pictures while Crane is whipped and put into the sweat box. Superman decides he's had enough, removing Crane from the sweat box and putting Wyman in instead. He runs off to the governor's mansion and drags the governor to the prison. He tells Wyman that he's going to kill him the same way Wyman killed the prisoners. Wyman promises to never torture the prisoners again. The governor hears his confession and Wyman's reign of terror comes to an end.
