Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen travels into the 50th century in a rocket. The people of that time inaccurately believe that Jimmy was Superman. Jimmy shows them he does not have powers, but no one believes him. Professor Xerxes gives Jimmy devices enabling Jimmy to perform super-stunts. However, the author of a book claiming Superman never existed, Jon Smyth, proves Jimmy is a fake. The real Superman arrives and proves his existance. He also exposes Smyth as Xerxes in disguise. He gave Jimmy the devices, so that he could sell his book.
