Synopsis:
Superboy is exposed to Red Kryptonite which causes him to fall into a Kryptonite fever. The fever causes him to hallucinate. He believes that Jor-El and Lara escaped Krypton’s destruction and have come to Earth. Together with them at last, he decides to accompany them to a new planet to live. The Kents and Krypto come as well.
On New Krypton, Superboy is powerless because the planet is similar to Krypton. A falling moon imperils the new world, so Superboy is sent into space to find enough uranium to detonate the moon and protect the planet. Before he can return, the world is destroyed, killing both sets of parents.
The shock of the experience causes Superboy to awaken from the hallucination. The fever passes, and he realizes it was only a dream.
