We begin this issue with "Sonny Sumo" written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta. Mother Box helps heal Sonny Sumo of burn wounds after he fights a robot. Then it transports Sonny to Happyland, where he helps break the Forever People free of Desaad's traps. When Desaad's guards attack them, Sonny takes the advice of Mark Moonrider and unites his will with that of the Mother Box, putting their enemies to sleep.
Darkseid, watching from afar, realizes that Sumo possesses the Anti-Life Equation. He decides that the Forever People must be killed, and Sumo captured.

Four men begin a robbery spree, using carnival talents in their crimes. Sandman investigates, but the criminals give him the slip using a convertible van. Sandman deduces that they are members of a carnival and catches up to them again. This time he sees through their ruse of the trick van and captures them.
We end with "Lonar" written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta. Lunar, poking amidst the ruins of an "old gods'" battlefield, liberates a great white horse, Thunderer from suspended animation.
