Perry White holds a contest for anyone who can provide the Daily Planet with the best photographs of Superman in action. Clark Kent is selected to judge the contest, but he becomes concerned when he sees two Superman photographs that he cannot account for.
Investigating the strange photographs as Superman, Clark discovers that a stage magician named Al Jones submitted the pictures. Al's television set possesses the ability to produce images of the future, and Al used one for the contest. Superman uses his powers to reverse the television's properties, returning it to normal.
