Synopsis:
The people of Doraynia depose their ruler Kobla and demand the return of exiled Prince Otho. Superman has helped hide Otho and tells Jimmy Olsen to fetch him.

The Prince gives Jimmy a royal ring, which causes Jimmy to be mistaken for Otho when they return to Doraynia. Jimmy decides to carry on the charade for a day until the real Otho arrives. Assassins working for Kobla and the Prime Minister Zormio strike at Jimmy, but Superman is nearby to protect the boy reporter. The Man of Steel exposes the plot against the Prince, and when Otho arrives he takes back his kingdom.
