Lois Lane, Convict / The Last Days of Lois Lane
"Lois Lane, Convict!": Lois Lane visits her college friend Coral on vacation in Canyon City. She becomes suspicious when the Arrowhead Ranch cancels her reservations. She disguises herself as Ann Lacey and takes a room at the Ranch. Then she goes horseback riding. While riding, Lois is caught by police. The ranch owner claims that Lois stole the horse. Her friends Coral then accuses her of stealing her car too. Lois is sent to jail, where she tries to contact Superman for help. The authorities stop her and use a Superman imposter to provide further evidence against her. Lois escapes from jail by trading identities with her cell mate. She then finds the phony Superman who has become ill. Lois then contacts the real Man of Steel, who returns to Canyon City with Lois. The townspeople give Lois an explanation for framing her. The town's cattle has become infected with contagious hoof and mouth disease. The people, including Coral and the police, feared that Lois would publicize the outbreak, and they would all lose all their cattle. Superman is able to cure this rare strain of the disease, saving much of the livestock and the ranchers. "The Last Days of Lois Lane!": Lois Lane mistakenly thinks she is going to die in a week from radiation exposure, and risks her life time and again to get scoops.
