Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen finds Superman panhandling on the street in front of the Daily Planet. Jimmy follows Superman back to an abandoned tenement where he now lives. Superman explains how he lost his powers. He also introduces Jimmy to two scientists who are dying from the plague.

Jimmy takes Superman to a neurologist who believes Superman loss of power is due to a mental block. The condition originated when Superman began to feel unneeded due to advances in modern technology. Later, when his tenement catches fire, Superman is able to overcome his disability to save the two scientists.

With his powers restored, Superman plans a return. However, modern advances are still able to perform his mission better than he can. Superman sets off into space to begin a new mission on another world.
