Changing to Superboy he anchors the faulty ferris wheel until the passengers are safely on the ground. Salesman Herbert Binns complains to his boss Hugo Crowl and threatens to alert the police if any further faulty rides are sold.

Superboy helps him do just that, as well as with further seemingly impossible orders.

She turns out to be quite vain and shallow, and tells him she cannot swim, and that her stunt double does the water action. He awakes as they arrive in Hollywood and Esther is waiting to meet him. He brushes her off. She is confused, as she only wanted to ask him to teach her to swim.
