Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen experiments in his apartment with different inventions. One new invention turns out to be a time radio, which broadcasts words from the past.

Superman asks Jimmy to use the radio to tune in on a bank robbery from three nights earlier. The crooks learn of Jimmy’s invention and try to stop him from using it against them. Jimmy disguises himself to delay the crooks long enough for Superman to arrive. The Man of Steel then reveals the invention was a hoax to smoke out the crooks.
