Synopsis:
Professor Potter develops a serum to give Jimmy Olsen powers similar to Star Boy. However, the serum causes Jimmy himself to become super-heavy. Jimmy's increased weight begins causing severe property damage, and he becomes a menace. Superman orders Jimmy to return home until the serum wears off, but Jimmy continues to get himself into trouble. Superman finally takes Jimmy to a remote island. However, a Kryptonite meteor paralyzes the Man of Steel. Jimmy uses his increased weight to eliminate the meteor and free Superman. Jimmy's weight eventually returns to normal, but he is left with a bill for the damages he caused.
