Perry pairs Lois and Clark together for a story about the “Ultimate Street Fight.” Lois isn’t interested, and even suspects she caught the assignment because of her “connections” in the fight game. But she and Clark take the story to Menken’s gym and there meet a very old friend of Lois’ named Allie Dinello. Dinello later calls Lois, but before they can talk, a truck runs the man over and kills him, leaving Lois and Clark to wonder what he knew, and why Max Menken ordered a press blackout. Complicating the matter is the apparent connection between Max Menken and Dr. Sam Lane, an eminent orthopedic surgeon whose skills have saved many athletic careers – and who happens to be Lois’ father.
