Synopsis:
Lois Lane discovers that Jimmy has suddenly become invulnerable. An office accident also proves that Clark is invulnerable. Lois believes it is because both men ate space berries Superman gave them.

Clark knows the berries are not responsible, since as Superman he tested the berries before giving them to Jimmy. He investigates, discovering Jimmy’s invulnerability was caused by atomic radiation and is temporary. Lois eats the berries too, expecting to become invulnerable. Superman then must protect Lois in order to protect his identity. Finally, Superman shows both Lois and Jimmy that the invulnerability has worn off, and the space berries are all gone.
