Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen goes on a crash diet in order to reach the weight of 125 lbs., necessary for him to enter an exhibition horse race as a jockey. Jimmy starves away the pounds with Superman acting as his personal trainer. Chuck Thomas a rival jockey tries to ruin Jimmy’s diet by tampering with the scales. At race time, Jimmy is still overweight, so Superman helps Jimmy shed another three pounds, the last few ounces come off courtesy of Jimmy shaving his head. Qualifying for the race, Jimmy wins easily riding Star Flash.
