Synopsis:
Perry White orders all of his reporters to get stories on Superman by spending the day with him. Superman agrees because the proceeds will be donated to charity. Young photographer Joey Crane wants to participate but he is delayed trying to find Clark Kent.

Superman performs various feats throughout the day and helps a variety of people. The reporters on the scene each file their own stories. Meanwhile, Joey lags behind and misses out on the feats themselves. His only pictures are of the people left behind after Superman leaves. At the end of the day, Joey shows the photos to Perry White, who thinks they are great, because they show the effect that Superman has on the world.
