Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen stands in for his sick cousin Jerry, the rock star. Disguised as Jerry, Jimmy performs on-stage using a tape-recorder to mimick his cousin’s act. The recorder combined with Jimmy’s signal watch cause Superman to be affected by dancing spells whenever Jimmy plays.
Some crooks make the connection and time their crimes to coincide with Jimmy’s concerts. They are captured during one crime because Jimmy did not perform as scheduled. When Jerry makes a recovery, Jimmy gladly gives up his impersonation.
