Synopsis:
For Jimmy’s birthday Superman promises to stay close by for the day so he can respond whenever Jimmy uses his signal watch. At lunch that day however, Jimmy burns his hands badly and can not use the watch through his bandaged hands. Jimmy gives the watch to Clark and follows him for the day.
When emergencies arrive, Clark can not summon Superman because he is the Man of Steel and his robots are away on a mission. Clark manages to stop the emergencies without switching to Superman, but when Jimmy wants his friend to attend a birthday party, Clark is forced to summon Superman.
The Man of Steel arrives and enjoys the party with Jimmy and Clark. Later Superman and Clark meet alone, and it is revealed that Superman summoned Batman to disguise himself as Clark; therefore both Clark and Superman attended the party for Jimmy.
