Synopsis:
When Jimmy Olsen learns that newsboys working for a rival newspaper are going to be put out of work due to their paper shutting down, Jimmy tries to get them jobs at the Daily Planet. When he can’t find jobs for them, he enlists Superman’s help to stage the Boy Olympics, a show to raise money to save the City Sentinel.

Jimmy’s work on the show causes him to keep his involvement a secret from his boss Perry White. The show is a success, raising enough money to save the paper. Perry learns that Jimmy is responsible, but doesn’t fire Jimmy. Perry himself had contributed money to the show for advertising, realizing competition is good for business.
