Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen accidentally sniffs the fumes of his elastic serum and is once again transformed into Elastic Lad. While stretching into the sky, he discovers a tiny hole which leads to the Phantom Zone. The criminals imprisoned within try to get Jimmy to uncover the secret identity of Superman, but Jimmy chooses not to look because he is too loyal to his friend. He leaves the Zone before the hole can close, and Lois and Clark are both surprised to learn that Jimmy passed up a great scoop to preserve Superman’s secret.
