Synopsis:
Supergirl rescues a ship at sea. During the rescue, she is contacted by Lori Lemaris, Superman’s old girl friend. Lori asks Supergirl to help destroy some ancient Atlantean weapons that have been unearthed. An Atlantean boy, Jerro, accompanies Supergirl and shows her the location of the weapons.

After successfully destroying the dangerous inventions, Supergirl is honored by the people of Atlantis. Jerro and Supergirl fall for one another, but Supergirl telepathically broadcasts her emotion accidentally which allows everyone to know her feelings. Embarrassed, she leaves Atlantis and returns to the orphanage. She still fantasizes about Jerro even though Jerro can only marry his own kind.
