Synopsis:
When Clark Kent visits a new museum dedicated to great heroes from history, he is exposed to Red Kryptonite that was used in the construction of a Robin Hood statue. The Red K causes Superman to act as Robin Hood by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. All the items he steal begin with the letter 'S' since he saw that letter when he was exposed to the Red K.

When a gang of Metropolis criminals discover Superman's affliction, they disguise themselves as poor people and demand that Superman give them the loot which he steals. Superman gives them several worthless items and asks Krypto to stop him from stealing valuables. When the crooks demand Superman's secret identity, Krypto tricks them with a booby-trapped box containing sleeping gas. Superman's affliction eventually passes, and he repays the owners for items he stole.
