The Daily Planet holds a contest to find the average American. Gangster Hammerhead Haines enters his man Normie Norman into the cotents. He then discredits the other finalists, including Clark Kent.

Clark is chosen as the average American, because though he tried to avoid trouble, when it happened he acted accordingly.
