Synopsis:
Superboy destroys a meteor in space that had the potential to blind people on Earth. However, he temporarily loses his super hearing and telescopic vision in the process. Tommy Wright, a boy scientist who discovered the meteor, offers to act as Superboy's eyes and ears using his scientific gadgets.

Initially Tommy is able to alert Superboy when he spots disasters. However, two such disasters are false alarms. Tommy is concerned about the false alarms, so when he spots a forest fire, he tries to confirm it before signaling Superboy. Tommy then becomes trapped by the fire, but he is still able to alert Superboy. The Boy of Steel rescues Tommy and puts out the fire.

Superboy's hearing and vision powers eventually return. Tommy earns a scholarship for his work in aiding the Boy of Steel.
