Synopsis:
Lois and Clark visit the office of magicians Hocus and Pocus. When Lois falls off their roof, Clark must become Superman to rescue her. In doing so, he is forced to make the magicians believe that their magic was responsible for his transformation.

After Lois is rescued, she asks the magicians to give her super powers. In order to protect his own identity, Superman must fake her powers. Lois soon puts herself in danger by confronting the BBB gang. Superman must protect her without being seen.

After Lois captures the gang, Superman makes her regret having powers. She asks the magicians to take them away from her. Superman is relieved that he no longer has to follow Lois and fake her abilities.
