Jimmy enters a marbles tournament sponsored by the Daily Planet. Although rusty at first, Jimmy regains his touch with the help of Superman’s training. Jimmy makes it to the finals where he goes up against a boy using Target Marbles. Jimmy suddenly begins missing. Superman realizes that Jimmy’s marbles are being misdirected with a magnet. He destroys the magnet and exposes the publicity agent of Target Marbles for cheating. Jimmy then goes on to win the competition.
