Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Return of Super-Horse!"
The amnesiac Comet runs away from Liz Gaynor's stables, gradually begins using his super-powers again, and eventually ends up with a farmer and his family. When the farmer's young daughter is carried off by an eagle, Comet flies after the bird, attacks it, and rescues the girl. Supergirl, seeing the deed with her telescopic vision, flies to Comet's side, and the sight of his old friend restores Comet's memory. Comet telepathically recounts his origin to the farmer and his daughter, then, after getting a new cape from Supergirl, helps her perform a good deed for Lena Thorul. Finally, Superman summons Super-Horse by radio to the Fortress of Solitude for a special mission, saying the task is too dangerous for Supergirl. Comet flies off to aid Superman.
