Synopsis:
Superman is called away on a space mission, so he leaves a Superman robot on Earth under Jimmy’s control. Jimmy does well covering for Superman, so when the real Superman returns, he replaces the robot secretly, allowing Jimmy to give orders to the real Man of Steel. When crooks use Kryptonite against him, Superman is weakened. Jimmy realizes it is no longer the robot, so he rescues Superman. The Man of Steel is then able to capture the crooks.
