Synopsis:
Ex-con Hijack Hilton begins a new underworld game show where criminal contestants are challenged to answer questions to win money. Hilton has rigged the game. The final question is impossible to answer, so the contestants always lose.

Superboy discovers the game and volunteers to play. Hilton tries to trick Superboy, but he fails. For the final question, Hilton asks Superboy what his secret identity is. The Boy of Steel creates a powerful thunderclap when giving the answer. Though he answered truthfully, the crooks are unable to hear him. Hilton's prize money is then proven to be counterfeit, and Superboy takes him into custody.
