Synopsis for Legion of Super-Heroes: "The Mutiny of the Legionnaires!"
While Mon-El and Superboy continue to try and fail to pierce the "Iron Curtain of Time" that the Time Trapper has put over a future era, Cosmic Boy and Sun-Boy agree to help the population of a dying world to relocate to a new home world. Recruiting other Legion members (Light Lass, Matter-Eater Lad, Triplicate Girl, Lightning Lad and Star Boy), they load up a giant space craft with the alien race.
Along their voyage in space, the pressure of leadership gets the best of Sun-Boy who begins to strictly reprimand his fellow Legion members. Believing them to all be mutineers, Sun-Boy has the robots controlling the ship force his teammates into an escape ship and crashes it on the doomed planet. The doomed Legion members fight off various threats until they come across an ancient space craft which they cannibalize for spare parts to make their escape ship space worthy. Learning from the Science Police that Sun-Boy never met his destination, the Legion goes into space to search for him.
They eventually find Sun-Boy's ship, and a catatonic Sun-Boy on board. Returning him to Earth and getting him examined by doctors, they realize his behavior was cause from too much time in space. After Sun-Boy is cured, the Legion enact new measures limiting the amount of space missions a Legion member can take for the sake of their health.

Synopsis for Superboy: "The Amazing Adventures of Krypto-Mouse!"
This story is reprinted from Superboy #65.
Tommy Ewell's parents force him to get rid of all of his pets, including his beloved mouse, Fuzzy. He releases Fuzzy into a field, where the mouse proceeds to scamper about until it finds the laboratory of Professor Egglehead. Fuzzy interupts the path of Professor Egglehead's Atomic Krypton Ray, and the resulting exposure transforms him into a large bipedal mouse with all of the powers of Superboy.
That night, Fuzzy returns to the Ewell home where Tommy gives him a Superboy costume and dubs him Krypto Mouse. Though his physical attributes have been enhanced, Krypto Mouse still possesses the mental accuity of a common field mouse. He flies off into the night in search of cats and cheese.
The following day, a gangster named Trigger hunts down a snitch named Louie the "Rat". Louie tries to hide by dressing up as in a mouse costume, but Trigger discovers his ruse. However he mistakes Krypto Mouse for Louie and begins attacking him. He is astonished to discover that his target is suddenly impervious to all physical danger.
Later, Superboy assists a distressed cargo ship, by flinging all of its barrels of perishable goods onto the mainland. While Superboy busies himself with the ship, Krypto Mouse arrives on the beach and breaks into the barrels, consuming massive amounts of packaged cheese.
Before long however, the effects of Professor Egglehead's atomic ray wears off and Krypto Mouse returns to being a regular field mouse. Tommy Ewell's parents decide to let him keep Fuzzy as a pet for as long as he wants.
