Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen is kidnapped and taken to the foreign nation of Duxania by Princess Vannia. When they arrive he tries to call Superman with his signal watch, but a rebel assassin with super powers known as Magnaman responds. Magnaman attacks Jimmy, then tries to kill King Ogtar. Jimmy is able to chase the villain away with sonic blast from his watch. Vannia then explains that she brought Jimmy to Duxania to help.

Jimmy learns that Magnaman was once Klarz, a lab assistant who stole a secret formula that gave him his powers. Jimmy tries to discover Magnaman's secret weakness and is tricked into believing that lead will stop him. Magnaman then diguises himself as Superman and plans to rob the royal treasury. However, a gopher that was exposed to the same super-serum as Magnaman approaches him while underground. When the two come together, they both lose their powers, and Magnaman suffocates.
