Luthor invents a teleportation machine - the Atom Scrambler - and sends Superman into the 4th Dimension to prevent him from carrying out a vendetta against crusading newspapers. Superman manages to contact Lois by manipulating her electric typewriter, leading her to Luthor's lair, where she uses an ammonia-laced lipstick to throw the gang into confusion, then throws a switch which restores the Man of Steel, who once again captures his old enemy.
