Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen inherits a million dollars from Ron Hilton, a spendthrift playboy, on the condition that he can spend another million within 24 hours. Superman is assigned to bring Jimmy the money whenever he makes purchases which are restricted to items $50,000 or less. Jimmy is also not allowed to buy more than one of any item.

Jimmy begins his day as a spendthrift. He is making good progress, but some of his purchases actually make him a profit which he must also spend in the allotted period. After several close calls, Jimmy is down to his last dime. However, he can't find a place to spend it when his time expires. After Jimmy loses the challenge, Superman points out that Jimmy could have used the dime to put in a parking meter. The million dollars Jimmy was to have inherited goes to charity instead.
