Synopsis:
Jimmy helps his sick friend Dick Crane by taking over a case as a private investigator. After agreeing to help, he learns the assignment is to learn Superman’s secret identity and expose it to Bart Gordon. Jimmy disguises himself and takes the case. However, he secretly works with Superman, so that when Gordon sees Superman is his secret identity, Superman’s back is turned, and Gordon can’t see his face. By terms of the agreement, Jimmy has fulfilled the assignment, even though neither Gordon nor Jimmy learned Superman’s secret identity.
