Synopsis Superman releases Ak-Var from the Phantom Zone since he has served his sentence for an attempted theft of a Kryptonian relic. Before sending him back to Kandor, Superman allows Ak-Var to explore Earth. In Kandor, Ak-Var greets his three old friends and unpunished accomplices in the relic heist, Vas-Quor, Brenn-Bir, and Kyl-Ibo. Later, these three demonstrate super-abilities as they rob a Kandorian museum, and the authorities think Ak-Var must be to blame. After framing him, Ak-Var's friends arrange a mock trial. But Superman, who has been monitoring the situation, intervenes and with Ak-Var's help exposes the frauds. Ak-Var explains that he accidentally gave his friends super-powers due to his exposure to a piece of Red Kryptonite he had picked up on his tour of Earth.
