Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Green Sun Supergirl!"
This story is reprinted from Action Comics #337.
Supergirl is testing a new female spacesuit and an experimental spacecraft for the U. S. Government when her ship gets caught by a space warp and flung into an unknown solar system revolving around a green sun which nullifies Supergirl's powers.
After crash-landing in planet Lumal, Supergirl finds out that world is inhabited by a humanoid race which is oppressed by another raced called the Evil-Eyed People. Kara saves a family from getting their cottage burned down by an Evil-Eyed tax collector, and in gratitude for her kindness they tell her where she can find radioactive mineral to repair her ship, as well as giving her a map, supplies and local currency.
Despite being depowered, Supergirl fights her way through the dangerous surface of Lumal and reaches the entrance to the Evil-Eyed People's subterranean realm. With help of a Lumalian ant-like race, Supergirl seals their realm's entrance to stop them from enslaving the surface races. Kara finally reaches the radioactive deposites, repairs her ship and leaves.
Back on Solar System, Kara checks on Lumal with her telescopic vision. Supergirl thinks the people of Lumal will never guess about her powers, but to her surprise, the way she improvised her way to victory caused the Lumalians think she has super-powers.

Synopsis for Superboy: "The Invulnerable Imp!"
This story is reprinted from Superboy #120.
Mister Mxyzptlk legally changes his name to Mxypyxm, a palindrome, which reads the same backwards as forwards. Thus, Superboy is unable to send him back into his own dimension until he doses Mxyzptlk with Amnesium, which forces "Mxypyxm" to revert to his given name and return to the 5th Dimension.
