Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen goes to a wrestling match and discovers that the promoter has fixed the fights. Accepting a standing challenge, Jimmy enters the ring after drinking his Elastic Lad serum. With his stretching powers, Jimmy defeats each of the promoter’s wrestlers. His final opponent is the Ugly Superman who drinks the Elastic Serum. Jimmy struggles against his stretching opponent in order to last ten minutes and earn five thousand dollars for charity. Jimmy tricks the Ugly Superman into colliding with the real Superman who is flying by. The collision knocks out his opponent, giving Jimmy the victory and earning the money.
