Synopsis:
Clark Kent visits Metropolis for an Independance Day parade. A gang of crooks use the fireworks to cover a robbery. Superboy attempts to stop them, but the crooks get away.

Clark returns to Metropolis for a Columbus Day celebration. The Holiday Bandits strike again and once again elude Superboy. On the next holiday, Halloween, Superboy is waiting for the crooks to strike. When they do, Superboy is able to capture them. The gang leader is then exposed as Cyrus Barton, a calendar-maker, who was also responsible for setting up the holiday celebrations.
