Synopsis

A volcano in the South Pacific- dormant for many years- is about to erupt and endangers the entire area. Lois and Clark are sent to cover the story. Perry White sends them on their way, hoping they can finally work together, but Lois has no intention of sharing a banner headline with Clark. She steals Clark's press pass, and while Clark is at the town hall trying to acquire another press pass, Lois heads off to the volcano. The volcano starts to erupt in earnest, spewing fire, smoke, falling rocks and molten lava everywhere, and sending everyone scurrying in a panic. Lois finds herself trapped on a aerial tram-car which has broken from its cables and is beginning to fall. Seeing the big eruption from the open door of the town hall, Clark quickly changes into Superman. In short order, he reroutes the flow from the erupting volcano to the sea, repairs the damage and saves Lois. Later, in their stateroom on the boat ride back to the States, Lois finishes up her story and says to Mr. Kent, "It's a great story, Clark. Too bad that you missed it." "I wouldn't have missed it," says Clark, taking his press pass from Lois' purse, "If I didn't lose my press pass!"
