The Daily Planet is giving its Citizen of the Year award to Dan Grayson (played by Hugh Beaumont in a pre-{{Leave It To Beaver}} role), a worker at a furrier who participates in many community groups (and founded one to help young people) while raising a young son with his wife. Embarrassingly, he accidentally locks himself in his employer's vault when Lois and Clark come to visit, resulting in Superman ripping the door off. Grayson's boss forgives him, but this creates an opportunity for a character from Grayson's past, Luke Maynard, a criminal who threatens to reveal Grayson's previously hidden rap sheet if he doesn't help rob the fur company.

Grayson's son, Tim, overhears part of this conversation, and goes to Clark Kent to beg him not to expose his father, leading Clark to visit Grayson himself and get the whole story. Superman arrives too late to foil the robbery, and suspicion naturally falls on Grayson, giving Superman all the more incentive to catch the real criminals.

*{{Blackmail}}: A very straightforward case, though it turns out the blackmailer wants help instead of money.
*BrokenPedestal: Tim feels this way after learning of his father's jail time, and to some extent, so do the Daily Planet employees.
*CharacterTic: Maynard's habit of cracking and munching on walnuts. This gives him away eventually, when Superman hears him inside his lead-lined hideout.
*DarkSecret: Grayson's conviction, which even his wife doesn't know about.
*DeadlyGas: A gas for killing moths will be automatically released in the storage vault where Grayson traps himself, potentially killing him too.
*DefensiveFailure: Desperate, Grayson follows Maynard and corners him in his hideout with a gun. Maynard, however, knows that YouWouldntShootMe and walks up and knocks the gun out of his hand.
*SheWillComeForMe: Grayson gets a lot more relaxed when he learns that Jimmy Olsen has followed them to Maynard's hideout, knowing that the information will work its way to Superman.
