When Aimee first discovered the compact and turned into Shadow Lady, she revelled in the glories of its magic-given self-confidence and sexiness. She eventually turned to petty thievery, havoc-wreaking, and so on. Her sidekick, a demon named Demota, warns her to be at least careful. Her archenemy is quickly revealed to be the bungling police department of this near-future city.

However, one of the policemen is the serious young man Bright, who falls in love with Shadow Lady in his numerous failed attempts to arrest her. Aimee in turns falls in love with him, but is devastated that he loves her false alter-ego Shadow Lady, and not her real self. Luckily, she manages to meet him in her street personality; unfortunately, she doesn\\\'t believe he could possibly fall in love with her as she is: plain, shy, and boring.

Various adventures happen to Shadow Lady, including a challenge from a gir who is in love with Bright; said girl rigs herself up in a super-hero techno outfit and sets out to capture the evil Shadow Lady. Shadow Lady, however, outsmarts her rival.
