Superman is brought back to the aliens' home dimension to stand trial for aiding the murderer. Jimmy talks his way into acccompanying them as a defense attorney, although he is really being used as a hostage to ensure Superman's compliance. In the alien court, Superman is found guilty. As punishment he must perform only menial jobs for one year or until the killer is caught.

Superman and Jimmy return to Earth. Superman takes jobs as a dogcatcher, a window washer, and a street cleaner. Jimmy takes jobs to be close to Superman. He also has Professor Potter modify a watch to detect aliens. As Jimmy hoped the murderer shows up in disguise to watch Superman's humiliation.
