Synopsis:
Superboy discovers a planet inhabited by a race of short red aliens. They live in primitive dwellings while an uninhabited advanced city is located close by. Perplexed by the mystery Superboy investigates but the alien believe he is an evil monster. They use their magic Thaldek on him which is really Kryptonite. Superboy is weakened but finally earns their trust. He discovers that the original citizens of the planet built the city but had to leave when the air could no longer support them. They moved the red aliens here and took their world. Superboy then shows the aliens how to use the advanced technology. Then the grateful aliens bid Superboy farewell.
