Synopsis:
Having left his foster parents the Kents, Superboy goes to Casino City and assumes the identity of Chuck Kibbee. He searches a carnival until he finds a couple who are running a crooked game. He then reveals to them that he is Superboy and offers to become their son.

Working with his new parents, the Zeros, Chuck breaks the bank at an underworld casino. The racket boss Hal King realizes that Chuck is Superboy. He then threatens to kill the Kents. The Boy of Steel acts like he doesn't care.

Two beings from a thermo-electric world then leave the Kents bodies. Superboy knew that his foster parents were comprimised and were trying to use him to destroy Earth. When the electrical creatures then try to take possession of the Zeros, they are destroyed. The Zeros are really Polar Boy's parents from the 30th century. Superboy called them for help, knowing that their bodies would be impervious to possession. Superboy then returns to Smallville and explains recent events to the Kents.
