Synopsis:
Superboy punishes Krypto for pulling super-pranks. He sends his dog to the moon. Krypto decides to explore space instead where he meets another boy, Solar Boy. At first Solar Boy is nice and lets Krypto play all the pranks he wants, so Krypto decides to make Solar Boy his new master.

Later, Solar Boy uses a machine that gives him super powers. He uses the same machine to remove Krypto’s powers for a day. The boy is cruel to Krypto and teases him. The boy uses his machine on Krypto each day to keep Krypto powerless, so he can’t escape.

Krypto finally manages to make the machine malfunction. Krypto’s powers return and he destroys the machine permanently. He leaves Solar Boy behind and returns to Earth to make up with his master, Superboy.
