Synopsis:
Clark Kent is called by a recently arrested criminal, Judd Kent. Judd claims to be Clark’s cousin and also claims to know his secret identity. Years ago in Smallville, Judd saw Superboy change into Clark.

Superman investigates and learns that Judd is not really his cousin. His uncle George had left a journal in which he wrote Jonathan Kent that he had a son. When George died at sea, a crook, Mike Dow, impersonated George and had his son impersonate Judd.

Armed with his knowledge Clark is able to explain what Judd saw years ago in order to protect the crook from revealing his secret identity.
