Kara Zor El (Helen Slater) lives in an isolated Kryptonian community called Argo City, in a pocket of trans dimensional space. Zaltar (Peter O’Toole) allows Kara to see a unique item known as the Omegahedron, which he has borrowed without the knowledge of the city council, which also has immense power. However after a mishap the Omegahedron (which also powers the city) is sucked out into space. Kara follows it to Earth in an effort to recover it and save the city, which will die without it. On Earth the Omegahedron is recovered by Selena (Faye Dunaway) a power hungry would be witch who quickly realizes that it can be used to allow her to perform real magical spells. On the radio, Selena hears that Superman has just left on a peace seeking mission to another galaxy.  Kara, now dressed as Supergirl arrives on Earth and discovers her powers. Following the path of the Omegahedron, she takes the name Linda Lee and identifies herself as the cousin of Clark Kent and enrolls at an all girls school.  Supergirl and Selena are both enamored by Ethan, who works as a groundskeeper at the school. After Selena misuses the Omegahedron to make herself a “princess of Earth” she drugs Ethan with a potion to make him love her and serve as her consort.  Supergirl rescues Ethan and he falls in love with her instead.  Supergirl and Selena repeatedly battle in various ways, until Selena uses her powers to put Supergirl in an “eternal void” known as the Phantom Zone. Here stripped of her powers she wanders the bleak landscape and nearly drowns in an oily bog.  Yet she finds help in Zaltar, who is also in the Phantom Zone after going into self imposed exile for losing the Omegahedron. Zaltar sacrifices his life to allow Supergirl to escape. Back on Earth, she regains her powers and defeats Selena.  Ethan admits his love for Kara, but knows it is possible he may never see her again and understands she must save Argo City. The final scene shows Kara returning to a darkened Argo City, which promptly lights up again.
