Superman takes Jimmy Olsen to visit his Fortress of Solitude. When they return to Metropolis Jimmy possesses super powers and begins creating trouble for Superman. Jimmy wants Superman to reveal the location of the Fortress. The two engage in a battle which causes city wide destruction.

Jimmy then takes a kryptonite meteor and forces Superman to take him to the Fortress. Jimmy then tries to destroy the bottled city of Kandor. Superman stops him, since the Kryptonite was fake. The real Jimmy is trapped inside Kandor. The evil Jimmy is El Gar-Kur, who used a device to switch places with Jimmy. The real Jimmy switches back with the villain, who is taken to a Kandorian prison.
