Synopsis:
While trying to save a boy from falling into a well, Clark Kent himself falls in. A Kryptonite meteor in the well weakens him, preventing his escape. The people of Smallville try to rescue him, as Clark tries to think of an escape route himself. He eventually causes the well to collapse, knocking himself into an underground stream below. The stream carries him away from the Kryptonite where his powers return. He then stages a fake rescue to protect his secret identity.
