What happens in Super Capers from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Ed Gruberman [Justin Whalin] is a hopeful yet often unlucky young man whose ordinary nights are upended when he stumbles upon a tense mugging in a shadow-filled alley. The assailant is pursued by a striking woman in red named Red [Christine Lakin], who reveals she possesses real superpowers. After Ed intervenes with a quick swing of a 2x4, the mugger crashes through the window of a law office owned by the slick lawyer Roger Cheatem [Tom Sizemore], and Red vanishes into the night, leaving Ed to face a chorus of sirens as the arresting lights sweep over him.
