Synopsis:
A few respected businessmen of poor physical stature commit robberies in which they use physical prowess. Superman captures one of them and links them to Morby’s gym. He joins the gym as Clark Kent and finds that the men there are being hypnotized, then used to commit crimes. Superman breaks up the racket and exposes the real crooks, freeing the businessmen from the hypnotic influence.
