Synopsis:
Supergirl visits Kandor to report on the fate of Lesla-Lar. While there, she attends several events and judges actors trying out for a movie about Superman’s life. When she returns to Midvale, she is asked to work at the orphanage where she grew up.

A child is left at the orphanage who resembles young Kal-El. The child exhibits super powers and is adopted by a couple who resemble the Kents. Supergirl can’t believe it and begins investigating. The trio turn out to be Kandorian actors that Supergirl had turned down for roles while in Kandor. She is impressed by their acting skills and offers to help them get the roles of Jor-El and Lara in the movie.
