Synopsis:
When Clark Kent and Lois Lane get handcuffed together, Clark can’t handle emergencies as Superman. Instead, he sends signals to a new computer at the Daily Planet to give Jimmy Olsen advice on handling the rescues. Jimmy performs the tasks, thinking the machine is responsible for the help. When Clark and Lois are released, Superman returns to action.
