Synopsis:
Jimmy uses one of his Superman trophies in a parade as a drumstick. After the parade, he appears to have gained control over animals. Superman explains that the stick is really a magic wand that once belonged to Circe. It gives the user power over animals.

Against Superman’s advice, Jimmy uses the wand to recapture some circus animals and catch some crooks. However, when some gangsters learn of Jimmy’s power, they use him to fix a horse race. Jimmy doublecrosses the crooks and has to be rescued by Krypto. Krypto however accidently destroys the wand, ending Jimmy’s reign as an animal master.
