Supergirl goes to Ivy University in her phantom state, seeking help from Ray Palmer, alias the Atom. When Ray hangs up his uniform, invisible and intangible under normal means, for a shower, Supergirl, who can see the uniform in her phantom state, dons it, uses it to shrink her to a six-inch height, and becomes solid again. She explains her problem to Ray, who deduces that the Master Jailer has destabilized her molecules and restabilizes them himself with a ray-device of his own. Supergirl returns to her normal state and height, gives Ray back his Atom uniform, and goes back to New York. She appears to locate the Master Jailer in a hideout in the Brooklyn Bridge, but her foe turns out to be a robot.
