With InterGang chief Bill Church in prison, his son Bill Church Jr. (Bruce Campbell), has taken over running the mob. Among other things, he wants revenge on Perry White. He obtains red kryptonite, which won't kill Superman, but has unpredictable affects on him. This time it makes him totally apathetic. Superman allows an armored car robbery, with Lois looking on, then, when Church kidnaps Perry and Superman, under the affects of red kryptonite, Superman allows the kidnap, preferring to flirt with a blond dog-walker. Church holds Perry, trying to get him to cooperate with the Intergang plan for world domination. Clark, sharing his apathy, soon recovers, mystified as to what has happened. At Lois' urging, he decides that he/Superman needs to see a psychiatrist (Dr. Friskin, played by Barbara Bosson) who, Lois says, really hepled her sister Lucy. In the meantime, Agent Scardino is continuing his wooing of Lois, and Clark's need to vanish at times opens Lois to Scardino's wooing. When Clark gets upset with Lois and Scardino's dates, he asks her out again.
