Jimmy Olsen is teleported to the world of Roban by mistake. Vikkor, the chief scientist, had hoped to bring Superman to Roban to help defeat a race of flame-tongued creatures which threaten Vikkor's people. Jimmy uses an experimental enlarging ray to make a giant ice cube to imprison the beasts. Vikkor then sends Jimmy home in a corkscrew-shaped space ship. Jimmy's voyage through space amazes him, until he realizes that he is not in outer space at all. Jimmy's ship travels inside the Earth until he penetrates the outer crust and returns to his own civilization.
