Synopsis:
Jonathan and Martha Kent appear on a game show. They are given the opportunity to have a new hospital ward built if they exchange rolls for a day. Gamblers, Slots Bivins and Slim Perkins, try to ruin the Kents by sabotaging their roles. Superboy intervenes to help Jonathan and Martha fill in for each other. He then exposes the gamblers' racket of fixing the game show.
