Synopsis:
Phantom Girl delivers a small Supergirl statuette to Supergirl as a gift. The statue contains particles of Red Kryptonite which cause Supergirl to develop a kiss that grants super-powers. Before realizing what has happened, Supergirl has kissed her mother, Dick Malverne, and Jerro. Dick and Jerro use the powers to get into trouble, and the powers wear off at a dangerous moment. Fortunately, several Kandorian girls see what has happened and fly to the rescue as the Supergirl Emergency Squad. After a short time, the effects of the Red K wear off.
