Synopsis:
An archeologist has found a Kryptonian box near Smallville. The box is sent to Lois Lane for Superman to open. Lois’s curiousity forces her to open the box. Inside are goggles, a cape, and gloves. She tries them on and is granted super powers.

Lois begins using the powers but is reckless. Superman continually has to save her from hurting herself and others.

When Superman learns the origin of the garments, he finds a Kryptonite meteor and lures Lois to it. The Kryptonite robs the garments of their powers permanently. Lois keeps them as souvenirs.
