Suddenly, the sane brother of Doon appears and writes a check for the $100,000, and the Emerald Crusader breathes a sigh of relief.; The Flying Fury aids a newspaper editor being threatened and bullied by people who disagree with his hard-hitting editorials. When the owner refuses, the gangsters begin destroying the delivery trucks and bullying the newsboys.

After escaping from this mess, he consults the Thunderbolt on how to raise $300,000 and ends up selling peanuts, umbrellas, ice cream.....anything to raise the money, but ends up losing every dime! Later, a phony Atom and Sandman threaten Hotfist and his gang, and Johnny is hired to deal with the phony JSA'ers. The T-Bolt saves the day, but Johnny gets not one penny from Hotfist.; The Spectre, in order to raise his funds, fights a boxing match, captures some crooks, plays the stock market, aids a fortune teller, stops a strike at a munitions plant and secures some buried treasure.; At the request of Calvin College's Dean and trustees, and a $50,000 guarantee, The Atom assumes the role of The Masked Demon to uncover a gang of men betting on college sports.

Fate saves her and is rewarded with his $100,000 share by the banker involved.; Wesley Dodds consults Dian Belmont on how to raise his needed share of the money and she suggests visiting Police HQ and pulling down a few wanted posters whose rewards total his $100,000 goal. They select three crooks, whose rewards offer that much money, and, with Dian driving the car, Sandman rounds up his intended bad guys and turns them over to the Police, collecting his reward.; Rex Tyler is visiting the Wonders Expedition and hears about an Aztec treasure being sought. However, two opposing groups of crooks are also after the treasure: Killer Blaine and The General. Hour Man must, with some difficulty, defeat both groups, and when he saves the day for the expedition and uncovers the treasure, he is rewarded with a check for $100,000.; New JSA Chairman Green Lantern returns from war-torn Asia and Europe, announcing that things are very bad over there, and immediate financial aid is needed. Hawkman recommends that each member raise $100,000 towards that end, but Johnny offers to raise $300,000 himself!; Johnny sneaks back into JSA HQ without being seen, wondering what will happen to him when the other members find out he hasn't got his share of money. Green Lantern's power ring discovers Johnny and he explains his dilemma, and the members begin to make fun of him when the Thunderbolt delivers Honorary Members: The Flash, Superman and Batman, with $100,000 each to save the day for Johnny and the JSA's fund-raising efforts. The three are also given an "official" thanks from the JSA members for their help.
