Synopsis:
Jonathan and Martha Kent are kidnapped and replaced by aliens from the micro-world of Xelthu. The aliens, Nerp and Irm, disguise themselves as the Kents, but Superboy discovers their deception.
The aliens force Superboy to back off by threatening the lives of his adoptive parents. Then they turn a Red Kryptonite ray on him which causes him to grow fat. When it wears off, he is again exposed which causes him to shrink.
Finally Superboy is able to locate Xelthu, which exists inside one of the atoms atop the Empire State Building. He places the world in the ocean, where no harm can come to it. The happy aliens return home, and the Kents are returned to where they belong.
