Synopsis:
Lois goes undercover poses as Miss Telepath in order to locate gangster "Long Odds" Larkin. Believing Lois to be telepathic, Larking kidnaps Lois and forces her to use her power for crime. Lois tries to summon Superman with Jimmy Olsen's signal watch, but the Man of Steel is away on a space mission. Lois is forced to fake her powers by making wild guesses. Somehow each of Lois's guesses turns out correctly.
Lois is finally able to summon Superman when he returns to Earth. The Man of Steel apprehends Larkin and recovers the loot. Lois thinks that Lori Lemaris, Saturn Girl, and Comet the Super-Horse were responsible for her apparent telepathy. Each denies involvement, leading Superman to theorize that Lois just beat the odds with her incredible guesses.
