Synopsis:
The staff of the Daily Planet rehearses a comedy skit, with Perry White playing the part of Caesar. During a break, Lois wanders into a cave where the scent of some flowers knock her out.

She awakens 2000 years in the past during Roman times. She is believed to be a slave girl, Loris Laynne. She meets Samson who opposes Caesar and helps the innocent. After exposing Samson as Caesar’s jester Merrio, he proposes to her.

After Lois reluctantly accepts, she is transported back to the present. The Planet staff awakens her from her dream brought on by the flowers which cause hallucinations.
