Synopsis:
When Jimmy Olsen sees a World War II newsreel picturing his look-a-like receiving an award from Adolf Hitler, Jimmy travels back in time to investigate. He joins the Allies during the D-Day invasion, then impersonates a Nazi soldier in order to save some men.
Jimmy pretends to be a fortune teller. The Nazi officers are impressed by his ability to predict upcoming attacks, which he knows about since he is from the future. Jimmy is promoted and eventually brought to Hitler as his personal advisor. His cover is blown when he fails to warn Hitler about an attack on his life. Just as the Nazi soldiers are closing in on him, Jimmy returns to his own time, having discovered that he was the person pictured on the newsreel.
