Later, when his grandfather learns what he did, he freaks out, because he had placed his life savings in the lining. His grandson then goes to the Daily Planet and tells Lois what happened. She decides to print the story hoping someone will help. The two men who picked up the clothing for the drive, who are also crooks, read the story and go to get the coat. Eventually Lois gets a lead, so she, Jimmy, and the boy also set out to get the coat. When they arrive at the center, they find someone has already taken the coat. When they find out where he is, the two crooked men show up and pretend to be trying to help. The crooks lock up Lois, Jimmy, and the boy while they go after the coat.
