Superboy stops a giant meteor from striking Venus. During the mission a plant spore clings to his costume and is brought to Earth. The spore soon grows into a tree which blossoms. The scent of the blossoms affects the people of Smallville causing them to act out of character. Superboy soon realizes the cause of the strange behavior and removes the tree. He then sets things back to normal, helping the people who were affected by the blossoms.
