Synopsis | After attempting to destroy an asteroid with traces of Kryptonite, Superman loses his memory, and assumes he is dressed for a costume ball. He changes into the clothes in the cape pocket and heads to the Daily Planet, where he hopes he can find out his identity from a report on who wore what to the ball. Lois and Perry tell him he is Clark Kent and also that Superman has disappeared. When Clark later puts on the Superman suit to fool some bank robbers and finds that bullets bounce off him, he credits the suit for this ability. He breaks up the asteroid, he believes thanks to the Superman suit, but decides to reveal to the Daily Planet how he has been acting as Superman, but isn't the real Man of Steel. As he walks to the office in plainclothes he is hit by a truck and remembers that he really is Superman. |
