Synopsis:
While vacationing near Hollywood with his family, Superboy rescues a movie producer’s home from a fire. In gratitude, the producer offers Superboy a role in a film. During his screen test, Superboy’s dog, Krypto, arrives and steals the show. The producer decides to make Krypto a star instead.

Krypto becomes a huge star and begins living a life of luxury. However, the fame goes to Krypto’s head. He no longer uses his powers to help others, so Superboy decides to teach him a lesson. Using a special Kryptonite solution, Superboy causes Krypto to become old and feeble. After Krypto realizes how conceited he was acting, Superboy restores Krypto to normal. Krypto then quits the movie business forever.
