A UFO crashes near Smallville, and out step Superboy's real (birth) parents, Jor-El and Lara! They escaped Krypton's destruction in a faulty rocket, repaired it, and spent years seeking Earth. Superboy packs and takes off for another planet with only a callous "nice knowing you" to the Kents, breaking their hearts... While in prison, "Killer" Mason waits for his midnight execution and deciphers a code to reveal Superboy's secret identity... Continued.; Aquaman chases a boatload of crooks, but falling rocks knock him senseless - and temporarily blind! Still, with the aid of a manatee, whales, a swordfish, and other sea friends, he captures the gang - just as he slips, conks his head, and regains his sight.; Green Arrow and Speedy are stumped as crooks raid houses all over the city and steal trophies with no monetary value. A deceased designer left duplicates of the trophies. The last is an archery trophy, the "Archie". Green Arrow competes in the contest - hanging upside down - as crooks grab the Archie. GA and Speedy are caught. The trophies hold a combination to a safe, but it fails. GA's arrow ring changed an "8" to look like a "3" - as they wrap up the crooks.
