The Two Worlds of Superboy
Storyline
Continued from last issue... Superboy left Earth with Jor-El and Lara - but they're actors! Superboy faked the UFO and super-stunts. The hoax can end, for "Killer" Mason has been electrocuted. But a meteor strike forces them down to an asteroid. At home, Ma and Pa Kent will be honored as Superboy's adopted parents at a banquet. Only then do they find the cat hid a note from Superboy explaining the hoax! As Superboy returns the actors home, a fake Clark Kent takes his place at the banquet: a dummy made by Pa as a joke on Martha saves their secret!

The Archer Who Lost His Aim
Storyline
Green Arrow agrees to wear a chest monitor to test his physical and mental reactions for vital medical data. But his arrows go wild at odd moments, and crooks get away. Other times he can shoot fine. It's only when he ditches his steel arrows and borrows Speedy's wooden ones that they figure it out. The doctor's assistant put lead foil in the monitor and exposed the magnetized gear works by remote control for a cut of the crook's loot.
