After participating in a Smallville Civil War re-enactment, Superboy finds a planet where duplicates of his townsfolk are actually fighting the war. He tries and fails to save Clark Brent (a Clark Kent double) from a firing squad, only to find that he was actually a Confederate spy. He then tries and fails to save General Kane (Pa Kent), Private Rothul (Lex Luthor), and Nurse Bertha (Ma Kent). At length he learns that the people are all androids, with two elderly alien generals playing a war game.; "Sparkle" Smith forces Jim to impersonate Superboy, else "Sparkle" will reveal that Jim's father is an ex-convict. "Sparkle" uses the disguised Jim to con donations from the people of Bigville, but Superboy turns the tables in such a way that the gang is not only arrested but discredited, leaving Mr. Marsh's secret safe.; After encountering a fire-breathing metal-eater monster in space, Superboy and Krypto become voraciously hungry, eating even rugs, park benches, paint, and iodine. Superboy finally realizes that he's compelled to eat green objects while Krypto eats red -- the fire monster must have eaten red and green kryptonite. They both set themselves to eat distant moons -- one green, one red -- until their hunger is satisfied.
