Synopsis for "Salteen's Art Gallery"
Plastic man breaks up an attempted mugging but the thug gets away and PM is unable to get a good look at him. He later runs into a shady character known as Enterprising Willie and accuses him of the mugging. Willie professes his innocence and proclaims that he is in the rubber business. The thug wanders into a laboratory where he finds a scientist working on a rubber formula experiment which will produce good cheap grade rubber. Willie decides to subdue the scientist and take the formula for himself. The scientist protests that the formula is incomplete but Willie doesn't care and proceeds to lock up the scientist in a room. The next morning Willie visits and advertiser and blackmails him into helping him promote his business. Over the next few days, advertisements appear all over the city for rubber products such as girdles, suspenders and socks that contain rubber as good as the rubber that composes Plastic man. Customers rush to their local stores to purchase the items excited by the fact that they are being endorsed by Plastic man himself. Plas soon learns of the advertisements and rushes to stop Willie from using his name to promote his products. It isn't long before all the plastic products start to fail and break. Customers are in an uproar and blame Plastic man for lending his name to such a business. In the meantime Plastic man discovers the scientist who was locked in a room by Willie. He gives Plas a formula which causes everyone to become stuck in place and this gives the hero time to explain that Willie intentionally used his name on the products without permission. Willie is then identified by the scientist as the person who assaulted him as he cries at the thought of facing a jury..
