Synopsis for Lois Lane, Girl Reporter: "The Suicidal Swain"

Jimmy Olsen muses that in spite of her ability as a reporter, Miss Lane wouldn't be nearly as successful if it weren't for her stories about Superman. Lois inadvertently proves this theory wrong when Perry sends her to cover a story on a broken-hearted man who is threatening to jump off an 8th-floor ledge, at the Belvue Apartments. Taking matters into her own hands, Lois confronts the man, to ask him why, and she learns that the woman he wants to marry has refused his proposal. When Lois tries to talk sense into him, but the man is still insistent on jumping, Lois finally gives up. She tells the man that if he is just going to leap to his death then he's not really alive anyway. That's when the ledge they are standing on breaks, sending Lois over the edge. With her quick wits she manages to slow her fall, first by grabbing an election banner, then by her billowing dress, and finally crashing through an awning which lands her in a safety net.

Afterwards, the suicidal man decides to reconsider ending his life, because of how dangerous it looked seeing Lois almost fall to her death. Later Jimmy commends her on getting a sensational story without Superman, and the formerly suicidal man tells Lois that if he's going to commit suicide over anyone in the future, it's going to be her!
