Synopsis:
Famous athlete Phil Carter disappears only to turn up later as an old man. Clark Kent investigates, rescuing Carter from gang boss Joe Glower. Superman traces Glower’s connections back to the Evolution King, a criminal scientist who can increase or reverse the aging process. Clark and Lois Lane are soon captured, but while Lois is passed out, Clark tricks the crook into using his own old age pills on himself. The Evolution King dies on old age, and Clark helps restore Carter and other victims to normal.
