Synopsis for "The Prize is a Planet!"
When a dire threat faces the planet Mord, special agent Galora is sent to Earth to recruit Jimmy Olsen's help. Galora appeals to Jimmy's vanity giving him temporary super powers. Jimmy then agrees to return to Mord with Galora.
When he arrives on Mord, Jimmy is honored by the people, but they believe he will die. Secretly, Galora puts him through a few tests which Jimmy passes. Jimmy then faces a warrior of Klon in a mental battle. Jimmy loses the battle, but in so doing saves Mord from invasion. Since Jimmy performed miserably in the fight, the Klon believe Mord to be insignificant and unworthy of conquest. Jimmy then returns to Earth as a hero, though he is embarrassed that it was his lack of intellect which made the difference.
