The film begins in the home of Kara, Argo City, a domed remnant of the doomed
planet Krypton. Kara is still young, and as with most persons of her age, was bored.
Zaltar, the pioneering architect of Argo City and an artist is a close friend of Kara, and
is a protector and mentor for Kara.
Kara adventure begins
on a normal, boring, day, like all others for her. She is with Zaltar in the center of the
city, where he is working on an obscure piece of art, which he explains to be a tree from
Earth. He also explains to an admiring Kara that he wishes to go there someday in a rocket
ship he has designed. Alura and Zor-El, Kara's parents are sceptical of this, and ridicule
Zaltar for his outrageous dreams, which are sure to result in his death.
Not wanting to hurt Kara's feelings, Zaltar gives her his matterwand, the tool with which
he creates his art, and sends her off so that he may have an in depth discussion with
Alura and Zor-El about space travel.
