Synopsis:
After destroying a comet that is threatening Earth, Superboy loses his memory. He returns to Earth with amnesia and tries to discover his real identity. He lands in the Phillipines where he is not known. Gradually he discovers each of his super powers while helping others.

While his search continues unsuccessfully, Superboy meets a con man named Natural Keene. Keene knows Superboy's identity, but sensing an opportunity to strike it rich, he doesn't tell the Boy of Steel. Keene uses Superboy to win a bet by having him climb Mt. Everest. At the top, Superboy is struck by lightning which restores his memory. Superboy thwarts Keene's plan, then returns home.
