Feeling that Lois Lane has unfairly stolen the love of Superman from her old student Lana Lang, Prof. Lorraine Denison uses a laser to burn out the area of her brain governing the emotion of love. Lois becomes apathetic towards Superman, and callous in her work. But Lana Lang and Superman convince Prof. Denison to tell them how her machine functions, and, with the help of an actor with whom Denison was once in love, revive Lois's love-capacity. Meanwhile, Lana Lang states that she has given up on her love for Superman, and takes a job overseas as a European correspondent for the Galaxy Broadcasting System.

Trivia
- In the main story, Superman knocks over the spire of the Metro Tower in a fit of rage upon learning with his X-ray vision that Lois no longer loves him and is only continuing to date him for the status of being "Superman's girlfriend." The following day's news broadcast merely mentions the spire "falling over" but states that Superman repaired the damages. However, Superman is still technically guilty of destruction of property, regardless of whether the municipal government or the owner(s) of the building pressed charges or the public knew that it was he who caused the damages in the first place.
