Synopsis:
Linda Danvers wins an opportunity to become an exchange student. To her surprise she changes places with a Stanhope student from the 40th century. Linda gets a guided tour of the future Stanhope, but is shocked when she learns that Supergirl is considered a criminal.

During her tour, Linda is forced to become Supergirl to stop an out of control robot. Authorities quickly apprehend her and force her to stand trial. Robin the Boy Wonder acts as her defense attorney since he accidentally arrived in the 40th century after a visit to the 30th century Legion of Super-Heroes.

At trial Robin pleads Supergirl's case, but then uncovers stolen property in the Girl of Steel's cape pouch. Supergirl is convicted and is branded an outlaw. However, she has correctly deduced that Robin is really a descendant of Mxyzptlk who is pranking her. She tricks him back to his own dimension which causes all of his magic to reverse itself. Supergirl is once again known as a hero, and she returns to her own time period.
