Synopsis:
When Jimmy Olsen is struck in the head by a potted plant, he receives a vision of the future. When the vision comes true, he retraces his steps to find out what caused it. Jimmy is then struck again by another plant and gets another vision. The second vision comes true too.

Jimmy thinks the blows to the head are responsible for his visions, so he asks Perry and Lois to hit him. When he doesn't receive visions, he hits himself over the head with a baseball bat. The blow knocks Jimmy unconscious, and he is rushed to the hospital.

At the hospital, Professor Potter offers an explanation for the prophetic visions. It seems the odor from a rare Tibetan plant combined with the blow was responsible. After the explanation, Clark Kent is hit by one of the plants. Since he is invulnerable, the effect doesn't work, so he makes up a prophetic vision to cover his secret. Surprising, Clark prophecy does come true, and he apprehends some armored car robbers as Superman.

Later a blight strikes the rare plants killing them, so the effects can not be further duplicated.
