The villain in this story was "Luminus", fresh off of his escapade in
"Target", and ready to escape from prison. This time though, he's out for Superman, not Lois, and the way he does it is…ah it's just great.
With a device that drains the earth of the yellow rays of the sun and turns them to red, Luminus successfully drains Superman of his powers, after several fights and tussles. Lois and Jimmy get into the act by hunting down his hide out, which oddly enough, blends in with the rest of the city (as seen in screenshot #14). More magic tricks and mirrors, fights, and explosions ensue, and in the end Superman gets his red sun back, and punches Luminus out with little effort.

Maybe better than the story was the animation. The scenes where Superman and Luminus fought, with all of the light bursts, punching, disappearing going on, it was one of the best fight scenes I've seen anywhere in
S:TAS. Unlike shocker episodes like "Apokolips…Now!" and "Legacy", this episode didn't offer any hardcore impact into the universe of S:TAS, but it was sure fun to watch.
