It is a lovely day on the beach of Waikiki, Hawaii, where Lois Lane is on vacation, and enjoying a little fun with surfing. When all of the sudden, a gust of cold air blows over the water, transforming it into ice. Lois is reminded of the North Pole as she observes the strange sight, and she decides that she can't wait to get the story to the Daily Planet. But more than just the beach was frozen, the whole island was turned into a frozen wasteland.
