Synopsis:
Jimmy is upset that Perry White does not respect his reporting skills, so he pretends to allow himself to be frozen in ice for a thousand years. The deception is quickly discovered by Superman, who realizes Jimmy is trying to trick Perry.

Jimmy returns to the Daily Planet, disguised as Gilbert Knox. He takes Jimmy’s job and tries to become a flop as a reporter. Superman however ensures that Gilbert is a success. Perry promotes Gilbert to Jimmy’s dismay, but the boy reporter eventually realizes that he is getting what he wants after all as Gilbert instead of Jimmy.

Superman then melts the ice block Jimmy is supposed to be encased in. Jimmy must return to his true identity to prevent his hoax from being discovered. He returns to the Planet where Perry takes him back in replacement for the departed Gilbert. Jimmy is then forced to listen to stories of Gilbert’s greatness from Perry.
