Taking a day off from the Daily Planet, Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen and Beanie the copy boy are exploring the famous Breathing Cave near Metropolis. And a gust of wind blows through and surprises them. Clark explains to the boys that every few minutes the wind in the cave changes direction, hence the name of the cave. As Clark and Beanie head back toward the surface, Jimmy notices some strange rock formations in the cavern below, he goes down further to investigate it. But once he's down, he realizes he can't get back up, and he calls for Mr. Kent and Beanie. And just then he realizes he had forgotten his Superman signal watch. Just then, the wind changes direction again and pulls Jimmy deeper into the cave, and he falls down a shaft.
