Synopsis:
Superboy responds to a call for help from the planet Nyza. A costumed super-criminal called Mighto has stolen a treasured statue. When Superboy finds the crook, Mighto claims to have been the adopted son of the Kents. He also threatens to reveal Superboy’s secret identity.
Superboy returns to Earth and confronts his foster parents. They don’t remember Mighto, but Superboy soon discovers they have been under the influence of a post-hypnotic suggestion. Superboy learns that the Kents took in Mighto, but discovered he was a criminal. Mighto hypnotized them into forgeting him.
Superboy confronts Mighto again. This time Mighto uses an experimental gas to create a time warp, bringing dinosaurs to present day Earth. Superboy rescues the Kents, but is felled by Kryptonite. The Kents pretend to side with Mighto, then use a music box to defeat him. Superboy discovered that music was Mighto’s weakness, so he told the Kents to use the music box. Superboy returns Mighto to his home planet where his powers are removed, and he is incarcerated with his parents.
