Synopsis:
Lana Lang begins wearing a magic amulet found by her father. Lana starts receiving premitions of danger through the amulet. Using Lana's warnings, Superboy is able to avert several disasters. When Lana warns Superboy that a district attorney is an imposter and carrying a gun, she expects him to use his x-ray vision to verify the presence of the gun. However, Superboy has already deduced that Lana's premitions are being sent through a tiny radio reciever in the amulet. A crook named Slippery Smith planted the radio. He hoped to trick Superboy into destroying photographic evidence carried by the D.A. with x-rays. With the evidence still intact, Smith is convicted and Lana's premitions stop.
