Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen suggests to Clark that he should pretend to be tough to impress Lois. He also recommends dressing as Superman and acting weak, so that Lois will think Superman is weak. Lois overhears the plan, but circumstances force Clark to use it anyway. Lois isn't fooled, but she plays along as Clark stops some gangsters.

The next day, Clark is surprised that Lois hasn't revealed that she knew about the plan. He suspects she is up to something and follows her. Lois has found a clue to the gangsters' next job and is captured. Clark allows himself to be caught as well, returning to his standard weakling act. Once out of sight, he becomes Superman and saves the day as usual.

Lois then reveals that she knew about the switch all along and berates Clark for attempting to fool her.
