Later, Superman continues to try and gets scoops for Jimmy, but each time the crooks are not where a tip has told Superman they should be. The Man of Steel also sees Jimmy talking with gangster Nick Kaye. After several incidents Superman believes Jimmy is working with the gangsters, but he finds out the the horseshoe contains a radio that allowed the crooks to overhear Superman’s plans.
