Superman, Jr. and Batman, Jr. ride into Barstow and discover that it is a town with secrets. Years ago, aliens crash-landed there, but while they waited for their spaceship to repair itself the townsfolk discovered and murdered them. Now the townsfolk are placing themselves in suspended animation, to await the day the spaceship has repaired itself and will open up and give them access to its riches inside. But one person in town knows something the rest don't and has plans of his own.
