Synopsis for "The Romance of Superbaby and Baby Lois!"
Lois Lane gets a picture of Superman changing into his secret identity. Lois doesn't agree to develop the picture as she promises to Superman, but she bumps a doctor's car. The slight car bump makes a shock into Lois's mind, which turns her into a malevolent and ruthless female, and blackmails Superman to marry her or she will develop the picture. But both she and Superman get a shot of rejuvenation spray at the Fortress of Solitude, and begin de-aging into infants. Lois, in her malfunctioned mind of becoming ruthless, tries to find someone to legally approve that she and Superman are married. However, when Superman and Lois have finally become babies, they are unable to speak, and turn back into normal age the next day. Lois takes a drug from the doctor whose car she bumped, and Lois is restored back to her generous and honest behavior. She destroys the picture and is thankful that the marriage didn't happen because she claims it's not fair and square to have the marriage made by blackmail. But Lois still wishes to marry Superman one day.
