Action Comics #65 (1943)

Action Comics #65 (1943) features a thrilling adventure starring Superman as he helps a man spend one million dollars in just 24 hours! The story follows the rich rogue Truman Treadwell who is on his deathbed and trying to decide what to do with his $3 million fortune. Treadwell has two sons: Brandon, a rogue with organized crime links and Roger, a doctor doing research into children's diseases. Roger wants the inheritance so he can use it all in his research, so Treadwell proposes a challenge: Roger can have $2 million if he can spend the other million within 24 hours, but he can spend no more than $1000 in any single purchase.

Superman is enlisted by Lois to help Roger spend the money, while Brandon enlists the aid of mobster Tug Moxton to intervene. As Superman and Roger embark on a day of good deeds and costly purchases, Moxton stages a mugging and steals $144,000 of the cash. To avoid losing the inheritance, Roger decides to get Superman to build a research ship that can be used to visit the Mediterranean and search for new materials that can be used in medicine. Moxton's gang blows up the ship, but this only gives Roger and Superman the opportunity to spend more money and build a replacement.

Towards the end of the 24-hour deadline, Roger attends an auction at an art gallery and bids huge amounts for worthless items to get rid of more money. Moxton's gang interferes again, but Superman foils their attempts and gets back the $144,000 they stole earlier. As the clock ticks down, Roger discovers he still hasn't spent the entire million, so Superman submits a bill for his services (@ $100 a minute), which he donates to charity. Roger secures the inheritance, and Brandon and Moxton's gang go to jail.

Action Comics #65 is an exciting and action-packed comic that showcases Superman's heroism in helping Roger spend his money and secure his inheritance. It's a compelling story that highlights the value of family, charity, and doing good with one's wealth.
