Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen is contracted to write a fictional story starring himself and Superman. Jimmy has several plot ideas, but when he writes them down, he realizes they are dead ends. Jimmy is close to giving up, until he dreams up a good plot. However, he can't recall the details of the dream. Superman takes Jimmy into the future, where his book has already been published. They take the book back to their own time. Jimmy then copies the book and turns it in to the publisher.
