Superman is disguised as Ideal-Man in this story.

Synopsis:
Lois records a conversation between Superman and an alien hero known as Ideal-Man. Lois learns that the two heroes plan to exchange planets temporarily. Lois edits the taped conversation and plays it for Lana to convince her that Superman is leaving Earth permanently.

When Ideal-Man arrives, Lois arranges for Lana and Ideal-Man to fall for each other. When Ideal-Man proposes, Lois thinks her plan has succeeded. At the wedding, Ideal-Man reveals that he is really Superman in disguise. He tricked Lois in order to teach her and Lana not to compete for him. Superman is disappointed in Lois's scheming ways and Lana's fickleness. Both girls admit their faults, but don't appear to change.
