Jimmy overhears crooks plotting to capture him and force him to reveal Superman’s secret identity. Jimmy drinks a serum which forces him to lie. When the crooks grab him, they force Jimmy to tell them Superman’s secret. Jimmy lies, saying Clark Kent is Superman. Unknown to Jimmy, his lie is the truth. The crooks try to expose Clark, but he secretly uses his powers to stop them. The lie serum wears off of Jimmy, and he vows to never use it again.
