Synopsis for Superboy: "The Wizard City"

When Professor Mark Olsen of the Smallville Natural History Museum is lost in Africa, Superboy investigates, finds him and a race of lost knights, and discovers a lost city of Krypton which has landed on Earth--whose Green Kryptonite land is deadly to him, and whose weapons an evil man wishes to exploit.

Superboy has Professor Olsen disguise himself as SuperMan, since Olsen can safely approach the Green Kryptonite, while Superboy secretly neutralizes the terrible Kryptonian weapons that the crook turns on Olsen. Defeated, Wizard City and its weapons are buried, and Superboy brings the knights and Professor Olsen back to America, where he meets his wife and his young son Jimmy for the first time.
