Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen stops a hold-up in the street. The man he rescues is injured, so he entrusts Jimmy to deliver a package for him. While tracking down the address to make the delivery, Jimmy is attacked by the two hold-up men. He eludes capture and successfully makes the delivery. The package contains a worthless cook book, as his errand was merely a decoy. However, when the crooks arrive again, Jimmy uses the book to disarm his opponents and capture them.
