Synopsis:
Jonathan Kent falls down a flight of stairs and injures his head. When he recovers he imagines that he is a famous bullfighter from Spain. He intends to put on a public demonstration of his bullfighting skills in an arena. Superboy changes the day of the event, so that Mr. Kent isn't on hand. Superboy himself then amazes the crowd with his own bullfighting.

After the show, Superboy learns that Jonathan used bullfighting techniques to stop a gang of motorcycle bandits. In doing so, his memory is restored to normal, and he is a hero to all of Smallville.
