LOIS & CLARK {LOIS AND CLARK}: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: THE FAMILY HOUR {SERIES FINALE} (TV)
Summary
One in this fantasy adventure series chronicling the exploits of newspaper reporters Lois Lane and Clark Kent (a.k.a. Superman). In this episode, Lois and Clark explore their options for having children, and Dr. Fat Head Mensa is released from prison on parole, only to begin immediately wreaking havoc on Metropolis. Before his arrest, Dr. Mensa had been the head of a cult devoted to the development of their brain power; and during his years in prison he focused all his energies on increasing his own powers of telekinesis. Now, out on parole, Dr. Mensa's goals are to get revenge on the ex-cult members who betrayed him, and to commit a series of lucrative and unsolvable crimes relying totally on his telekinetic abilities. Meanwhile, Lois and Clark have received the disappointing news that Kryptonians and humans can not reproduce, and so they will not be able to have their own baby. As a last resort, Lois turns to her father because of his reputation for pushing the boundaries of science; and she makes the important decision to disclose Clark's true identity to her father so that he can help them solve their infertility. However, the leak of SupermanÕs identity proves to be a poor decision with Dr. Mensa loose on the town. Soon Dr. Mensa and Superman come face-to-face in a battle with Lois and Clark's parents caught in the crossfire. Fortunately, Sam Lane's cutting-edge science comes in handy when the situation gets out of control. Commercials deleted.
