Synopsis:
Clark Kent temporarily hides his Superman costume in the Flying Newsroom to prevent Lois from discovering it. Jimmy takes the helicopter before Clark can retrieve the suit. Jimmy then crashes in the mountains. He discovers the suit and puts it on to protect him from the weather.

When Jimmy finds a small town of hillbillies, they think he is Superman. Jimmy tries to tell them the truth, but a series of coincidences confirm the beliefs of the hillbillies. The town then tries to get Jimmy to marry the mayor's daughter. Jimmy escapes, when one of the townsfolk chases him off with a rock that he thinks is Kryptonite. Finally, the real Superman retrieves his costume and returns to Metropolis with Jimmy.
