Synopsis:
Linda Danvers has fallen in love with college playboy Gary Sparks. To win his affection, she approaches him as Supergirl, and they begin dating. Gary agrees to give up his other girlfriends, and the couple decides to get married.

Supergirl returns home to tell her parents about her engagement. They are concerned by the sudden decision. Supergirl decides to use a Prognostron to view the future in which she marries Gary. The machine shows that the marriage will not be a happy one as Gary neglects their daughter Kala and begins cheating on her. Supergirl realizes that she should not marry him after all, but she has given her word.

Back on campus, Gary publicly announces the engagement and destroys his little black book. When he sees Supergirl again, the Girl of Steel intentionally sabotages the relationship. Gary then calls off the wedding. When he returns to campus he becomes a laughingstock when he claims to have jilted Supergirl.
