Synopsis:
Promoter Jasper Hawk stages a contest to dream up tasks that Superman can't perform. Hawk plans to use Superman to improve his own property by fixing the contest. Superman agrees to the challenge though he realizes Hawk's scheme. Superman then performs each task he is given, though he does them in a way that prevents Hawk from profiting. When Lois tumbles upon Hawk's plan, she is kidnapped. Superman rescues her as usual and arrests Hawk for kidnapping. Lois then wins the contest to stump Superman by tasking the Man of Steel to reveal his secret identity which he will not do.
