Synopsis:
Three members of the Legion of Super-Heroes travel back in time pretending to be prospective members of Lois Lane's fan club. The secretly girls help Lois throughout the day using their powers. Lois eventually recognizes them as Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl, and Shrinking Violet.

Since history shows no record of their visit, the Legion girls erase the memory from Lois's mind. Lois then looks at the girls' application stories. Because the girls make no mention of Lois's extraordinary luck throughout the day, she rejects them as club members.
