Synopsis for "The Slay-Away Plan"
A crook fakes a shooting at a public rally, and quickly disappears. His real target wasn't a person in the crowd, but the rare art treasures displayed at the ceremony. He and his gang intend to track down and steal the art objects later, as the lodged bullet contains a homing device, but Superboy and Lana Lang discover the plot and capture them.
