Unable to find a boy on Earth that can be her equal, Supergirl uses the super-computer in Superman's Fortress to locate a boyfriend in space. The compute choose Volar, the hero of Torma. Superman warns his cousin that she will not find happiness there, but the Girl of Steel tries anyway.

Supergirl flies to Torma and meets Volar. He is a powerful hero, and she is smitten. However, she is not well received by the peopler of Torma. They consider females to be inferior. Supergirl is then told to leave the planet by Volar, but the Girl of Steel has already witnessed a situation that leads her to believe that Volar is not really angry with her.

Eventually Supergirl learns that Volar is actually another girl, who has disguised herself as a boy. However, the supply of a rare chemical that allows her to maintain her secret runs out. Inspired by Supergirl, Volar chooses to continue as a hero despite the prejudices of her people.
