Synopsis
  • Superboy engineers a ruse in which a hypnotized gambler threatens to blow up the Kent house, which causes the flame-creatures who have possessed the Kents to abandon their bodies in fear. Mr. and Mrs. Mintar Bannin, Polar Boy’s parents, who both possess the same powers as their son, radiate super-cold and destroy the flame-beings. Thus, Superboy has safely removed the invaders from his parents’ bodies, and returns to the Kents, who are unaware what has transpired during their possession.
  • Superboy rescues a zkor, a super-powered animal from space. In gratitude, the zkor follows him to Earth and competes with Krypto for the right to be his pet. Finally, the zkor decides that the noble thing to do would be to let Krypto continue being Superboy’s canine companion. The alien animal returns to space, looking for a new master.
