Synopsis for "The Un-Curious Lois Lane"
This story is reprinted from Showcase #9.
When Lois Lane asks Superman to the Daily Planet Dance, he declines because he has an important mission to go on. Believing that she may have put on weight, she decides to weigh herself on a weight-and-fortune machine. Her fortune tells her that to win the man she loves, she must change her strategy. Taking this advice to heart, Lois decides to stop trying to learn Superman's secret identity and actually cover for him when he slips up and leaves evidence that might expose him.
This unfortunately happens at a time when Superman has taken up an alter ego of Allen Todd, a Novelty Salesman, and hopes on Lois revealing this "secret identity" because a group of three men suspect that Clark Kent is Superman and he wishes to throw them off the trail. Try as he might, by leaving false evidence around, Superman cannot get Lois to expose his secret identity, even when he visits her as Allen Todd and purposely tries to reveal himself. Later as Superman, Lois tells him that she's decided to stop trying to expose his secret identity.
With all else failing, Superman decides to send Lois a letter supposedly from an old man on his deathbed who knows Superman's identity, and a note to the crooks telling them that Lois has the secret to Superman's identity. When the men force Lois to the address on the note, they find Alan Todd there and shoot him. When they find that he's invulnerable, "Todd" reveals himself to be Superman, who destroys his Todd identity and tells all gathered that he is going to establish a new secret identity, preserving his Clark Kent persona. The next day at the Daily Planet as Clark Kent, Superman learns that Lois is going back to her old ways, excited about the prospect of learning what Superman's "new" identity is.
