Synopsis:
Clark Kent drinks a scientist’s vitamin formula that is supposed to increase a person’s lifespan. The serum turns Clark into an old man for 72 hours and affects Clark because there is Kryptonite in it.

As an old man with a long beard, it is difficult to act as Superman. His powers are fading as well. Using his wits, Superman is able to defeat several crooks and perform in a charity show before the effects of the serum wear off.
