Synopsis | - Superboy teaches a snobbish young millionaire boy that all his money won't make him a good & decent person, that he has to work for that.
- Superboy, in space, finds an unmanned rocket sent by Jor-El, and drifts into the gravitational field of Xenon, a Krypton-sized planet under a red sun. There, he discovers that the Xenonites have super-strength, super-speed, super-breath, and flight powers, since their planet was originally much larger than Krypton but was shrunk by “cosmic forces.” Superboy has no powers on Xenon and is unable to return to Earth, but is adopted by two Xenonites, Ral and Zinnia Quorz. Later, he is discovered to be a weakling by the Weakling Search Squad, and exiled by order of the tyrant Zozz to the “Weakling World”. But his powers are restored by a freak effect of Red Kryptonite, and he leads a revolt against Zozz that dethrones the tyrant. Rings of radiant material formed by an atomic weapon exploding a mountain are formed about the planet, removing the Xenonites’ powers. A democratic government is instituted on Xenon, and Superboy returns to Earth before his Red K-boosted powers fade.
