Synopsis for "The Man Who Put Out the Sun"

Lois Lane awakens to find that the entire city block surrounding her apartment has been veiled in an unnatural darkness. She wanders onto the street and collides with a jewel thief. The thief gets away, but Lois suspects that the darkness was intentionally used to cover the robbery.

Lois's theory proves to be correct as she, Clark Kent, and Sergeant Casey learn of another robbery being carried out under the cover of black light. Superman is able to penetrate the darkness and capture one of the crooks.

Unable to make the thug talk, Superman replaces him in prison and is broken out by the gang. Superman in disguise is taken back to the criminals' hide-out, unknowingly followed by Lois. Superman apprehends the gang and their leader the Night Owl, protecting Lois from danger in the process.
