Synopsis:
Lois and Clark go undercover to a nightclub to get the story on a band of crooks called the Black Gang. During the evening the couple is approached by Frank Jordan and Jane Day. Jane convinces Clark to take her home in a cab. The cab is pulled over by the Black Gang, but Clark escapes.

Lois leaves with Jordan, and he kidnaps her for her jewels. When he and the Black Gang discover that she is a reporter and not a high society gal, they decide to kill her. Superman arrives in time to save Lois and catch the gang, recovering evidence to convict them including a reporter, Peter Peeker, who works for a rival newspaper and was a member of the gang.
