To increase circulation at the Daily Planet, Jimmy Olsen stages a hoax in which he is a boy from Mars. Perry and Lois believe him, but then Perry accuses Jimmy of being a spy. The FBI arrests Jimmy and although he claims to be human, several tests prove otherwise. Superman takes him to Mars, then reveals that he caused Jimmy to fail the tests. He brings Jimmy back to Earth after Jimmy promises not to stage any more hoaxes.
