Action Comics #85 (1945)

Action Comics #85 features a thrilling adventure between Superman and Toyman, a villain who always has a trick up his sleeve. The story begins with Lois and Clark receiving assignments from the Daily Planet to cover a freighter that rescued millionaires and Toyman's escape from prison. Lois decides to get a scoop by hiring a boat to take her out to the freighter before it docks and notices miniature sailing ships surrounding the ship. The miniature ships fire sleeping gas-filled canisters at the freighter, and Toyman boards the ship. However, Toyman steals only a pair of jade cufflinks from a passenger's cabin, much to Superman's surprise.

Later that evening, Toyman creates chaos at a women's charity ball by releasing mice from the tiny animal cages he had set up and stealing a jade ring from one of the women. He even sets a fire to divert Superman's attention again. Toyman sabotages a railway bridge to stop a train, but Superman saves the day, holding up the broken bridge while the train passes over. After some investigation, Superman discovers that all the jade items were unknowingly obtained from Jack Jones, a notorious bandit who was imprisoned with Toyman. All the jade pieces form a map showing where Jones buried his treasure.

The story concludes with a final confrontation between Superman and Toyman, where Superman rescues Lois and puts Toyman back in prison. The cover of the book shows Superman tied down in a saw mill, but the saw blades don't affect him, proving that he truly is the Man of Steel.

Action Comics #85 is an action-packed comic book that showcases Superman's powers and intelligence in solving the mystery of the jade jewelry and putting Toyman back behind bars. As always, Superman prevails and saves the day.
