A.K.A.:

Worst Act: Trying to manipulate two countries into war

Moving into 1940. Tensions in Europe were growing by the day, so how could Superman way in on that?

The country of Toran has invaded the country of Galonia. Clark Kent and Lois Lane become war correspondents, and on the boat ride over they run into actress Lita Laverne. Laverne, besides being an actress, is also a spy for Toran. Her mission is frame Galonia for attacking a ship, which hopefully will get the rest of the world on Toran's side.

Superman exposes her plot, but as he intones, the war in Europe is just getting starting. Funny enough the next issue would be the introduction of none other Lex Luthor.
