Stowing away in a quiet cabin after trying to save a man in a stalled car from an oncoming train, Superman overhears a plot to fix a football game. Not being the type of person to let such a thing continue, Superman kidnaps a player and takes his place, single-handedly taking the team to a win in the guise of a suddenly improved bench warmer. Fearing exposure, the coach trying to fix the game quickly resigns, while the players who try to muscle through the game and soundly trounced. The real Tommy Burke resumes his identity after Superman makes him a star, and "gives in" when his girlfriend asks him to give up football for safety reasons.
