Synopsis for "Invasion of the Mer-Men (Part II)"

Supergirl finds the secret base of the Mer-Men underwater, and discovers they are loading giant "tanker" space-globes with water to be shipped to their home planet. The globes have force-fields that resist any attempt Earth makes to destroy them. Supergirl locates and rescues Johnny, then smashes the globes herself and lets them rain their waters back on Earth. Finally, the Mer-Men leader gives up, telling Supergirl that they couldn't load enough water up in time to save his world, anyway. He and the other Mer-Men depart, resigned to their eventual

extinction. Realizing this, Supergirl cries.

Synopsis for "Fight With Fire Drake"

Freddy Nero, a party-crasher, tries romancing Linda Danvers at a party aboard the yacht of Mr. Stanton, the owner of KSF-TV. Minutes later, a scuba-costumed, masked villain called Fire Drake, who "breathes fire" with an acetylene torch nosepiece, loots the yacht and its passengers with his gang. Supergirl tries to follow, but her powers fail and she is repelled by Fire Drake's flame. Later, Linda Danvers is summoned by Allura to Kandor, where her father Zor-El has some new power-substitution gimmicks for her: a bracelet which can enhance her normal strength when she is depowered, replacing the exo-skeleta cyborg, and her Legion of Super-Heroes flight-ring, to replace her jet-boots. Supergirl encounters Fire Drake a second time,

captures him, and unmasks him as Freddy Nero.
