Superman uses an experimental device to travel into the future. When he is scheduled to return, another Superman appears in his place.

The Future Superman is unable to prevent the first three disasters and realizes he can’t change history. The final disaster is the assassination of the President.

The spy ring which is planning the operation is happy to learn they will succeed. The plan goes off as scheduled, but instead of blowing up the President with a bomb, Superman is hit with it. The Future Superman was a hoax desgined to smoke out the assassins. The attempt to kill the President fails, and Superman resumes his normal appearance.
