Synopsis:
After saving Lois from trouble again, Superman lectures her about being more careful. Perry White hears the lecture. He decides to hire bodyguards for Lois and Clark Kent so that Superman isn't forced to rescue them all the time.

Clark is upset that he is forced to have a bodyguard which interferes with his duties as Superman. When he interviews a fight promoter, a fight between Clark and the bodyguard, Pat Malarky, is proposed. Clark is trapped and must go through with the fight.

Clark arranges for the match to be a draw, but Malarky still refuses to give up his job as Clark's bodyguard. Finally Clark decides to give Malarky a chance to bodyguard a big shot. He hires Malarky to bodyguard Superman. Malarky is unable to keep up with the Man of Steel, and Clark is finally free of his unwanted protector.
