Synopsis:
While Superboy is in the future with the Legion of Super-Heroes, Pete Ross sneaks into Superboy’s trophy room. Pete tries on an anti-gravity belt and accidentally breaks the Superboy robot left behind to handle emergencies. Using his wits and the anti-gravity belt, Pete fills in for the broken robot.
Pete is unable to repair the damage to the robot and fears that Superboy will discover Pete’s knowledge of his secret identity. Rescue comes from the future, as Ultra Boy, Pete’s friend from the Legion, arrives to repair the robot. Pete and Ultra Boy then leave before Superboy can return and find the truth about what happened.
