First, he sets a trap by dumping a big can of grease (specifically, Booster Gold's Gold Fashion Hair Grease) on the ground. Flash runs right through the grease patch... and continues on unaffected. Puzzled, Lobo steps onto the grease, and slip-slides right into a patch of cacti -- which turn out to be PlantAliens that proceed to pummel him.

Lobo is waiting on a desert planet, planning to take down Superman with Kryptonite weapons and then capture the Flash to turn him in for a reward. His attack on Superman goes perfectly according to plan. From there, things go downhill for him....

Next, Lobo plants a big rock on a narrow rock bridge and places some gadgets on it to make it invisible. Flash comes along and simply runs across the bridge. When Lobo again wonders what's going on, Flash points out that he can phase through rocks. Frustrated, Lobo shoots at Flash, only to have his shot ricochet off the invisible rock and hit him. To add insult to injury, the hit sends him flying into another group of cactus creatures, who pound on him again.

Finally, Lobo plants a bomb under a protruding rock ledge and sets a hamburger at the outer end. When Flash takes the bait, Lobo activates the trigger, but nothing happens. Lobo then walks out to stand directly above the bomb, which now explodes. The bit of rock Flash is standing on remains suspended in midair as Lobo falls into a deep canyon.

The episode ends with Flash hopping between several more chunks of rock suspended in midair, and delivering the closing line "Beep, Beep!"
