A crook shows a list of serial numbers to Professor Memory before getting killed. The serial numbers belong to some stolen bills, so the crooks try to kill Professor Memory because his photographic memory has memorized the numbers.

Superman rescues the Professor, then he goes undercover disguising himself as the Professor. The crooks kidnap him and using his x-ray vision he is able to give them the serial numbers. Once the crooks confirm that he is Professor Memory, they try to kill him. Using his powers he outwits them and delivers them to the police.
