Synopsis:
Krypto reunites with the SCPA as they try out new potential members. One candidate, Prophetic Pup, makes three predictions using his powers of prognostication. The first two predictions come true. The third is that a hound will lead Superboy into a trap, and another hound will save him.

The cat criminal, Tricky Tom, is contacted by the feline pets of the Phantom Zone criminals. They help him set a trap for Superboy by removing the lead coating from Kryptonite statues of famous Kryptonians while Superboy is observing them. Krypto has led his master into a trap. As Prophetic Pup predicted, a hound rescues him too when an autograph hound pulls Superboy to safety.
