| Synopsis |
Wilbur Wolfingham shows up in the Eden farming community, which has been beset by drought, tornados and insect infestation, and offers nothing but doom and gloom for the future. As a gesture of "good will", he offers to buy out the farmer's land and stock at whatever price they deem fair, giving the people worthless checks. When Superman enters the scene, the farmers have been bilked further by Wolfingham over the community's "worthless" oil well. |
