Synopsis:
Dr. Carr invents a calculating machine that can predict the future. The machine predicts that Superman will lose his powers. Later, Superman is struck by lightning, and the machine's prediction comes true. The machine is a success and its predictions are broadcast over the radio.

The machine is a hoax that the Man of Steel and Dr. Carr concocted to gain evidence against crime boss Big Jim Martin. Superman faked his power loss to establish credibility for the machine. The next predictions of the machine lead to the arrest of Martin's men. Superman then tricks Martin into a confession that leads to his downfall.
