Synopsis for Green Lantern: "Situation Wanted"
To secure funds for the ailing Gotham Charity Hospital, Green Lantern places a personal ad. After receiving a bunch of dishonest ones, a response comes in from the Groyd insurance firm that he if uses his powers to protect some valuable things they have insured, they'll make some large donations. The first is protecting a circus acrobat. A shadowed saboteur releases a tiger but GL corrals it again with minimal hassle. This distraction allows the acrobat's trapeze to snap in the middle of his act but an emerald safety net catches him before he can come to any harm. Back at the insurance firm Green Lantern notices that the policy on the acrobat has a beneficiary whose name was obviously added surreptitiously, confirming that someone deliberately sabotaged the circus to try to collect the large payout on the insurance policy.
Next he's asked to guarantee the safety of an ensured cargo ship, which GL and Doiby infiltrate disguised as crewmen. While moving around the crates of silver the ship's hauling, Green Lantern instinctively realizes the weight feels off and they find out the boxes are full of worthless stone. The thieves scuttle the ship but Green Lantern jet-propels it back to shore before it can sink and thus completes his duty.
For his last task Green Lantern escorts a shipment of penicillin on a motorcycle. He falls into a trap where a group of flunkies put him into a deathtrap with the motorcycle on a rope over a canyon. Green Lantern escapes by using his ring to propel himself into the minions and clobber them. With this seen to he returns to the insurance firm, and since the head of the company would only face ruin by sabotaging the insured entities, GL determines the guilty party must be his secretary, Dexter. Doiby beans him in the head with his wrench before he can get his revenge with a gun after being exposed. The crooks are captured and the charity hospital gets its operating capital.
