Synopsis:
While aboard the Flying Newsroom, Jimmy sees Clark Kent flying. When he returns to the Daily Planet, Clark claims to be testing some Thunderbird wings that allowed him to fly. Jimmy believes Clark's explanation, but then insists on using the wings himself. Superman must then pretend to make the wings work in order to protect his secret identity.

While making the wings work for Jimmy, Superman also tries to discourage Jimmy from using them. Finally he creates artificial lightning. He leads Jimmy to believe the electricity shorted out the wings. Jimmy gives up his attempts to fly, leaving Superman relieved.
