Synopsis:
Lois Lane and Clark Kent are sent to investigate an anonymous tip that a scientist, Otto Juris, is really Superman. While verbally denying the allegation, Juris has rigged events so that Lois will stumble upon clues which show Juris to indeed be Superman.

Clark realizes that Juris is a crook trying to scam Lois and their boss, Perry White, into handing some Red Kryptonite over to him. Superman exposes Juris’s charade and turns him in to the police.
