Synopsis:
To increase circulation at the Daily Planet, Jimmy Olsen runs a promotion in which he will answer questions about Superman. Thousands of letters arrive, each asking a different question which Jimmy answers. Some letters ask for a personal response from Superman himself, who agrees to help.
A criminal named "Labs" Logan has developed a Kryptonite solution which he puts onto some return envelopes. When Superman licks them he is slowly poisoned. As the poison begins to take effect, Superman becomes weaker.
"Labs" forces Jimmy to give Superman another poisoned envelope, which when licked by Superman, causes him to pass out. "Labs" is happy because his supply of solution has run out. Upon hearing this Superman awakens and captures "Labs". Superman realized the letters were poisoned and tricks Logan into using all of his Kryptonite, without the Man of Steel actually ingesting any.
