Synopsis:
On a distant planet, the monster movie makers that used Jimmy Olsen as their horror star release their movie. It is a success as Jimmy’s appearance scares the viewers horribly. The movie makers create a Jimmy Olsen and Superman robot to make a sequel. After production, they destroy the Superman robot. Worried that his own destruction is apparent, the robot waits for a spacial gate to open back to Earth and travels there to take the real Jimmy’s place.

The robot ties Jimmy up and forces him to reveal his secrets with hypnosis. Jimmy manages to get a message to Superman who returns after initially being fooled by the robot double. Superman smashes the robot and frees Jimmy.
