What happens

Secret Agent (1943) is the last of seventeen animated Technicolor short films based upon the DC Comics character Superman. Produced by Famous Studios, the cartoon was originally released to theaters by Paramount Pictures on July 30, 1943. This is the only short in which Lois Lane does not appear, although a female federal agent who looks identical to Lois (except with blonde hair) appears. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
