| Synopsis
| - Having learned of Professor Dalton's duplicator ray having created the Bizarro Superboy, [[W:C:DC:Alexis Luthor
- After secretly saving a botched rocket launch as Supergirl, Superman's cousin returns to her guise of Linda Lee. Once more a couple has come to seek a child to adopt, leaving Linda to once more try and avoid being adopted. She is introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Dale, who in spite of her best efforts to convince them otherwise, adopt Linda. Linda soon learns that they are a pair of shysters who are have a fraudulent side show where they have fake props to make people unable to lift weights, but to make Linda appear to be super-strong. The irony that Linda really does have super-powers is not lost on her. The whole performance is a trick to get people to buy a "power elixir" that grants super-human strength, the however it's simply just sugar water with ginger flavoring.
Deciding that she will play no part in exploiting peoples gullibility, Linda decides to do secretly ruin the Dale's operation as Supergirl. The next day, Linda lifts up an elephant in front of the Dales, telling them that she drank the elixir and it worked. Mr. Dale is shocked and when he drinks the elixir as well, he seemingly gains super-strength, when in reality it's Supergirl secretly using her powers to give the illusion that Dale had gained super strength. When the Dales rushed to a chemist to have more of the elixir made, Supergirl flies ahead and uses super-ventriloquism and a life like marionette to trick the Dales into giving all the money they swindled from people for a batch of "real" elixier. To their shock and dismay, they find that they've been duped. Supergirl then secretly returns the money to their rightful owners. With the Dales bankrupt they aren't financially stable enough to support an adoptive child and Linda is returned to the orphanage.
