Synopsis:
Perry White and Jimmy Olsen switch jobs for a day as part of a "boss-for-a-day" program. Jimmy sends Perry on extremely tough assignments in which Perry must physically exert himself. Perry is angry with Jimmy, but continues to hold up his end, completing each assignment.

The next day Jimmy expects to be fired, but Perry has already learned the reason for Jimmy’s mistreatment of him. Perry’s wife had asked for help in getting Perry to lose weight. As a result of his assignment, Perry lost 20 pounds.
