Synopsis:
Lois and Lana are approached separately by people claiming to be from an alternate dimension called Zena. Both girls are persuaded to travel to Zena to compete for Superman's affections. When they arrive, Superman is rude to both of them. Despite Superman's actions, Lois and Lana's love for him is unwavering.

One of their escort then threatens to kill Superman unless one of the girls drinks deadly poison. Without hesitation, Lois drinks it. The man then announces that the experiment is over and reveals that he and his friends are psychologists conducting an experiment on love. Lois is not really poisoned, but she fakes being affected. The psychiatrists are worried, until she admits to her ruse. Lois and Lana knew they were being tricked and planned a deception of their own. The psychologists finally realize that their tests were a mistake.
