Synopsis:
Jimmy is summoned to the 30th century to help with an issue of the Legion News Bulletin. Jimmy finds it difficult to gather news stories, but is able to setup an interview with the Science Police Chief. On the way, Jimmy is forced to rescue a child who has fallen on a train track. Jimmy saves the child, but then discovers that it's only a doll. The delay makes him miss his scheduled interview.
Next Jimmy visits a bank to report on their security procedures, but is forced to perform a rescue when a man is trapped in the vault. Next Jimmy visits a museum and accidentally triggers an alarm. He is barely able to escape from the guards.
Jimmy returns to Legion Headquarters and falls asleep without completing the issue. When he wakes up the Legion congratulate him on a great issue. Jimmy is puzzled, until they explain that during Jimmy's adventures he saved an experimental child-robot, provided proof that a secure bank-vault was not secure, and stopped the Uniform Gang who had been impersonating museum guards. Jimmy didn't report great news, he created it.
