Superman: The Animated Series is a highly-regarded animated television series that first aired in 1996. It tells the story of Clark Kent/Superman as he fights crime and protects the people of Metropolis against a variety of villains and threats.

Season 1 episode 8, titled "Stolen Memories," takes place after Superman has foiled many criminal schemes in the city. The episode begins with a group of thieves attempting to steal a priceless diamond from a museum. They are caught by Superman, but in the process, he is hit by a strange beam. This beam erases his memory, and he wakes up with no recollection of who he is.

As he tries to navigate his way through the city, Clark Kent (who does not remember that he is Superman) is picked up by a kind stranger named "Hope," who brings him to a hospital. However, the hospital staff discovers that there is a delay in his memory and realize that he has amnesia.

Meanwhile, the villains behind the diamond theft are concerned that Superman may be a threat to them. They enlist the help of a brilliant scientist named Dr. David Amstrong, who has created a device that can transfer memories from one person to another. They plan to use this device to steal Superman's memories and keep him from remembering his true identity.

Dr. Amstrong's team manages to capture Superman, and the memory transfer is successful, resulting in the theft of Superman's memories. Once the villains have the memories, they plan to use the knowledge to take over the world.

Superman's friends Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen start to investigate when they realize that Clark Kent is missing. They eventually discover the villain's plan and decide to take action. Lois goes undercover to get close to the villains while Jimmy works with Dr. Amstrong, who has realized the error of his ways, to create a tool that will transfer Superman's memories back to him.

In a dramatic climax, Superman confronts the villains with the help of his friends. He uses his powers to retrieve his memories and defeat the villains once and for all. Finally, he returns to his regular life as Clark Kent, grateful for the support of his friends and the knowledge that he will always protect their city.

Overall, "Stolen Memories" is an exciting episode that showcases the strengths of Superman and his allies. The theme of friendship and support in difficult times is also highlighted as Superman relies on his friends to help him regain his memories and save the day. This episode is a must-watch for fans of the series and for those interested in the superhero genre.
