Synopsis for "Lois Lane, Queen of the Amazons"
Clark Kent and Lois Lane go to the Metropolis Museum to cover a story. A photographer suggests that Lois should wear one of the necklaces to model for a photograph. She begins behaving strangely and forgets to take off the necklace. Soon after, she quits her job at the Daily Planet and hops a plane to Venezuela. Clark follows her as Superman! As the plane is flying over the jungle, Lois grabs a parachute and jumps out. She is soon discovered by Amazons, who see her wearing the Royal Necklace of Amazonia and declare her the queen. Of course, she has to go through trials to prove herself first. Lois has no problem passing these difficult tasks, thanks to a little help from Superman. The Amazons welcome her as the new queen, and Lois starts acting like a real tyrant. Superman is discovered by the Amazons and willingly is taken to the queen. She declares that they keep him prisoner until the village totem poles rise in his defense. Superman easily escapes and decides to check out the totem poles. Superman uses some vines and throws his voice making the totems appear to denounce the queen. The Amazons turn on Lois and Superman quickly swoops her to safety. The powers of the necklace try to lure Lois back, so Superman rips it off her. Superman decides that Lois won't be safe until the Amazons have a new queen, so he gives the necklace to a banished Amazon that he rescued earlier. Superman then stages a fight with her and purposely loses, proving how mighty the new Amazon Queen is.
