As a fugitive of Coreytown's prison, he summons reporters of the Daily Star to show the lashings on his chest and report on the "horrors [the] prisoners suffer -- starvation, the sweat-box, living like cattle" inflicted by Superintendent Wyman. After seeing the story on the paper and receiving a visit by Governor Bixby, Wyman goes and forces the address of Walter out of Clark Kent and then beats him up. Clark justifies this betrayal by explaining that it makes Wyman confident. Crane is returned to prison, and while trying to escape, is shot by a guard and gets stuck in a swamp. Superman rescues him, protects him from the prison bloodhounds and returns the prisoner to the camp. While Wyman is flogging him, the Man of Steel takes photographic evidence. Walter is then put in the sweat-box, but Superman removes him and puts Wyman in instead. Forcing a confession out of the superintendent in front of the Governor, and with help of the photographs, Superman helps convict the crooked supervisor. (Act No. 10, Mar 1939)
