Synopsis:
Superman is struck with a green ray which causes him to emulate the behavior of persons depicted on nearby posters. He acts like a clown, a showoff, and a baby. The controller of theray is approached by criminals who offer to buy the machine. They then use the machine to keep Superman occupied while they commit a robbery. Once underway though, Superman drops his act and captures them. The ray was a fake designed to lure the crooks into the open.
