The cartoon starts with a robot breaking into a Metropolis bank, flying off and dropping off a payload of money to a scientist hiding out in a mountain. The news quickly spread the word about the robbery, and armed guards are stationed around the House of Jewels, where a menagerie of lush treasure are put on display. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are present at this opening to get a story when another robot shows up, effortlessly plowing through the armed guards and stealing a large chunk of the precious jewelry. Clark heads off to phone the Daily Planet about the story, while Lois takes action and stows away inside the cargo hold of the robot, which flies off. Clark sees the robot taking off and notices that Lois is absent--he quickly deduces that Lois stowed away on it, and gets into a phone booth to change into Superman, quickly taking off to rescue Lois and find out who is controlling the robot.
