Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen awakens one morning and finds himself to buy parts from an electronics store. Using the parts Jimmy builds an advanced computer. Using the computer, Jimmy is able to beat a chess master and predict the outcome of horse races. Jimmy's computer then predicts trouble at Superman's Fortress.
Superman and Jimmy arrive at the Fortress and save the city of Kandor which was in danger from one of Superman's experiments. Once the city is saved, Superman leaves for a space mission. He returns a short time later exhibiting brain damage.
Unconsciously, Jimmy performs surgery and transplants his computer into Superman's head. Although this saves the Man of Steel, he becomes an unfeeling menace. When he tries to destroy Kandor, the Superman Emergency Squad emerges to fight him. Jimmy and the Kandorians realize that this is not Superman, but Brainiac. The computer villain arranges to have Jimmy build the computer using his own components. The Kandorians then disassemble Brainiac.
