Synopsis for Superman: "A Monster Named Lois Lane!"
A jewel from space turns Lois Lane into a super-powered beast-woman. Superman pretends to develop similar monster-like symptoms in order to trap and subdue her but she sees through his disguise. Finally Superman realizes that Lois developed the condition only because she had a cold which lowered her immunity to the space jewel. Using 'advanced Kryptonian science' Superman devises a 'miniature cold curer' that restores Lois to normal.
