- The minute I begin covering up for someone who does wrong, just because he's an old friend, I have no right to be a super-crusader for justice! If Parker deserves exposure, I'll expose him.

Synopsis for "The Ordeal of Chief Parker!"
When Superboy drives Chief Parker to the point of resigning by harassing him, another Superboy and Krypto appear to battle the first Superboy.
The harassing Superboy suddenly realizes that he is from a parallel universe, hurled into the Earth-One universe by the vibrations of a nuclear missile's blast and induced by Red Kryptonite to ruin the career of a friend...actually, a dimensional duplicate of the Chief Parker of his world. Krypto, seeing that the parallel-Earth Superboy had a yellow S-shield with a red background, knew it was not his master and summoned the Earth-One Superboy. The other-Earth Superboy returns to his normal dimension.
