Comments:
This adventure takes place on Earth-1, as evidenced by the presence of super-teams including: the Justice League, Doom Patrol, Challengers of the Unknown, Sea Devils, the Blackhawks, and the Legion of Super-Heroes.

This issue features a guest appearance by Plastic Man. It is not clear whether this is the Plastic Man who is a native of Earth-1 or the son of the original Plastic Man from Earth-2 who briefly operated on Earth-1. However since this story was published during the Plastic Man series which featured the son of the original Plastic Man, it shall be assumed that he is the version that appears in this story.

The Kookie Quartet are parodies of Marvel's Fantastic Four. King-Size and Tsetse Fly are parodies of Giant Man and the Wasp.

Synopsis:
The Inferior Five seek a new headquarters after an awful songwriter barges into their current meeting place. After purchasing a new Inferi-Car, the team visits the Batson Building, a prospective headquarters.

At the same time in the penthouse of the Batson Building, Rod Rickard conducts an experiment which bestows himself, his assistant, his wife, and her kid brother with super powers. The foursome form the Kookie Quartet and promise to take over the crime-fighting duties in Megalopolis.

Before the Inferior Five can meet the Quartet's challenge, a bank robbery is committed. The perpetrators are King-Size and the Tsetse Fly, a pair of crooks with size changing abilities. The Kookie Quartet acts first, but they are quickly defeated. Through a series of accidents, the Inferior Five succeed in defeating the crooks. Afterward, they are also forced to battle the Quartet for custody of the prisoners. The Inferior Five prevails.

After the battle are resolved, the Inferior Five finally locate a new headquarters in a deserted mining town.
