Synopsis:
Superboy saves the life of Clyde Dilling, an out of work clown seeking to committ suicide. Dilling explains that his agent Leon Stone has declared his act as washed up. Superboy goes to the agent, who agrees to take Dilling back if he can make three men laugh. However, the selected men are blind, deaf, and dumb, so Superboy is forced to help make them laugh. After Dilling succeeds in his task, Stone is exposed for trying to swindle the clown and steal his act.
