- Having been tipped off to the location where TV western actor Huck Benson is taking his honeymoon, Lois Lane travels out to a western resort to cover the story. However, because Benson knows her from past interviews, she has disguised herself by dying her hair blond. Dressing up in cowboy clothes and arming herself with a pistol that is really a camera in disguise, Lois Lane goes out to try and get an exclusive photo of the newly wed couple.
While out looking for Benson, Lois trips over her feet spilling the contents of her purse out onto the sidewalk. Two crooks notice her gun and notice her "resemblance" to Lois Lane and decide to hire her in order to make an attempt to kill Superman to get an item worth millions. When the two thugs proposition her, Lois decides to take up the act and agree to help these men fool Superman for the price of $5000.
"Dying" her hair black, Lois plays dumb and pretends that she has never heard of Lois Lane in her life. When the crooks have her try to imitate herself, Lois purposely act out of character and foul up their attempts to get her to imitate herself, much to the crooks frustrations. However, when they spot Superman flying by, Lois purposely falls off the balcony of the crooks home and gets Superman to save her. Convinced that "Lois Lane" had "fooled" Superman they carry on with their plan.
Arming Lois with a camera loaded with a chunk of Kryptonite, the crooks order her to "snap" Superman's picture, in reality exposing the Man of Steel to Kryptonite, weakening him long enough for them to steal the valuable item that he is carrying. Sure enough when Superman arrives to get his picture taken by Lois, the Man of Steel has been tipped off already and easily captures the crooks and turns them over to the authorities. He then shows Lois what they were trying to steal: A rat that was launched into a space capsule that would have been valuable should the two crooks attempt to sell it to America's enemies.
- When a logging car jumps the tracks and threatens to dump it's cargo on Lois Lane, Superman is there to rescue her from serious injury. The next day while on patrol, Superman spots a car wreck and realizes that the car belongs to Lois. When he asks Perry White what happened later in his identity of Clark Kent, Perry tells him that Lois got in a car accident when she was chasing after a car she thought was owned by a wanted crook.
When Lois returns to the job a few days later she shocks everyone when she enters the office wearing a lead box around her head. She sadly tells them all that she has come to quit her job and that she is planning on leaving Metropolis forever. Worried about what's wrong with Lois, Clark decides to investigate as Superman to learn what's happened. Snooping around Lois' apartment Superman finds a receipt for the lead box that she had made. He also finds the phone book opened to plastic surgeons. He learns from the man who made the box for her head that she had come to him wearing bandages on his face, leaving Superman to believe that Lois was horribly scarred in the auto accident and decides to go back to her apartment to find more clues.
There he comes across her diary where he reads an entry about how Lois went to see show hosted by a woman claiming to be Circe, the sorceress of legend. Thinking that the woman is a fake, Lois was shocked to find that the props for the woman's show were real. Caught backstage by Circe, Lois is invited back to her dressing room where she is tricked into drinking a potion that turns her face into that of a cat. To Lois' surprise, the potion works and she soon finds herself with the face of a cat. When people react with either fright or laughter she realized that she had to cover up her face.
Superman realizes the truth and tracks Lois down, under the pretense that Perry White needs her desperately to interview a female astronaut. However when Superman brings her to the rocket site, he breaks the lead box and everyone points out to Lois that she does not have the face of a cat. Superman explains that "Circe" tricked Lois with a post-hypnotic suggestion and snaps her out of it. After learning that the events where people supposedly reacted to her face were coincidences, Superman takes Lois out to dinner where he plays a joke on her: When the waiter delivers her meal, it is simply a saucer of milk.
