Synopsis:
Superman gives Lois Lane a signal watch for her birthday. She begins using the watch for such non-emergency as breaking a shoe, having a nightmare, and a stuck zipper. Superman becomes angry with Lois for wasting his time on such trivial matters.

When Lois is threatened by a bomb, she chooses not to use the signal watch because Superman was angry with her. Superman is able to save her, but he is confused as to why she didn’t use the watch for a real emergency. Lois decides to give the watch back, since Superman considers her a nuisance.
