Synopsis:
In the Daily Planet offices, Jimmy Olsen and Clark Kent both accidently drink a serum created by Professor Potter. The serum gives Jimmy the ability to stretch his body to great lengths, as he had done previously as Elastic Lad. Clark, being invulnerable, is not affected by the serum, leading his friends to suspect he is Superman.

Jimmy resumes his Elastic Lad identity and plays baseball with Superman. Later his face is covered with green paint. People nearby chase him, suspecting he is an alien. Jimmy gets away and cleans off the paint.

Later, Clark uses a fun house mirror to trick Jimmy and the professor into believing the serum affected him as well. When the serum wears off, Jimmy is restored to normal, and Clark’s secret is safe.
