Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After he accidentally foils a bank robbery, meek bookkeeper Frank Smullins (Carl Ritchie) is invited to join the staff of the "Daily Planet" as a criminologist. Jealous cub reporter Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson), frustrated by the ability of the novice Smullins to outscoop him, decides to go after the bank robbers himself. That's right, folks: Jimmy and Smullins both end up in the clutches of the outlaws, necessitating another last-minute rescue by Superman (George Reeves).
