Synopsis:
Superman is exposed to Red Kryptonite which causes his face to change color during emotional states. Throughout the day, Clark must prevent his face from being seen when it changes color. Using his powers he manages to fool Lois several times. Further complicating matters, Superman witnesses the emotional death of Kandorian Nor-Kan. After his face has been purple with anger, red from embarassment, yellow from fear, green with envy, and more, the effects of the Red K wear off.
