At the same time, small time hoods have forced a sporting goods retailer, whose wife they have kidnapped, to buy out-of-season mechandise on his G.I. loan, threatening to take the money and scram. But Superman steps in and helps solve the problems of both Lois and the retailer at the same time by making Lois' weird predictions come true.
