Synopsis:
Criminal scientists Professor Weldon uses a new device on Superboy which sends him into the future and returns Superman into the past. Superman is reunited with his parents, but Lana Lang sees an opportunity to prove Superboy's secret identity. Superman tries to foil Lana's plot, but his attempt backfires on him. Lana believes she has finally gotten the proof she desires. Superman thwarts her by sending Professor Weldon back in time and giving Superboy a warning. Superboy is then able to defeat Weldon before he can use his machine that causes the time-switch. Since the time-switch did not occur in the modified timeline, Lana has no memory of learning Superboy's secret.
