In this spellbinding episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven unravel the mystery behind The Amnesiac Robbers from Action Comics #25 (1940). Bank messengers with no memory, disappearing fortunes, and a cunning hypnotist named Medini spell chaos for Metropolis—and even Superman isn’t immune!

When Lois Lane’s relentless search for Superman’s identity leads her into the hypnotist’s lair, Medini puts his plans into overdrive. Hypnotizing everyone from bank couriers to an entire plane crew, Medini hatches a daring gold heist that leaves Superman stumbling around like never before. Can the Man of Steel break free from Medini’s mind-bending spell and save Lois, the plane, and the day?

With dizzying twists, daring rescues, and Superman’s first real Achilles’ heel, this Golden Age classic delivers action and intrigue at every turn. Tune in as Ed and Steeven dive deep into this unforgettable story—complete with wrench-wielding brawls, hypnotized hijinks, and the high-flying heroics only Superman can provide!

Action Comics #25 was published by DC Comics in April, 1940.
