Action Comics #79 (1944)

Superman #79, also known as “The Golden Fleece,” is a classic tale featuring the man of steel himself taking on a crafty con man. Swindler Wilbur Wolfingham promises to make his victims rich quickly, but in reality, he takes off with their money and leaves them in the dust. His latest scheme involves buying land from sheep farmers suffering from a drought and planting gold in it to create a gold rush. Superman steps in, examining the land and proving there is no gold. He also alters the weather pattern to bring rain to the drought-stricken area and brings Wolfingham's victims to confront him, forcing him to pay up. In the end, it turns out the land has rich deposits of silver, making everyone happy except for the defeated Wolfingham.
