Synopsis:
Superman is cursed by a swami when he seals a natural gas leak in a mountain which the swami has declared sacred. Now each time Superman uses his powers for good, something takes him over and he causes trouble.

Batman and Robin try to stop Superman from causing disasters and also learn what caused Superman’s odd behavior. Batman traces the effects back to the swami who used Red Kryptonite on Superman. The unpredictible effects of the mineral were used to get Superman out of the way, so the swami and his partners could commit a robbery. Batman foils there scheme, and the Red Kryptonite is safely taken away, restoring Superman to normal.
