Synopsis:
Professor Lockhart has invented a machine that can restore youth to animals. Lois Lane uses the machine on herself in hopes that it will make her look a few years younger. Instead the machine causes her to revert to a teenager.

Lois fears that Superman will be angry with her because she used the professor’s machine, so she tries to get him to use his X-ray vision on her secretly which will restore her to normal. As Lois continues to grow younger, she is still unable to get a dose of X-rays from Superman.

Finally she decides to confess to Superman, but she has grown too young to speak. Superman tells her that he knew what she had done all along, and he gives Lois the real antidote, hoping that Lois learned her lesson.
