Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen infiltrates the Beard Band, a club that wants beards to come back into style. Jimmy is given a formula which causes his beard to grow wildly. The club will not give Jimmy the antidote unless he advertises the beard around town. Jimmy inadvertantly causes the beard to appear undignified, so the Beard Band destroys the antidote. The angry club members then plan to put the beard growing formula in the water supply, but Jimmy stops them and creates more antidote. With the antidote, everyone loses their beards.
