Synopsis:
Clark Kent is assigned to write a report about William Tell. To reseach the facts, he travels back in time as Superboy. Superboy witnesses the events that lead to Tell shooting the apple off his son’s head. Just prior to the historic event, Tell’s confidence is shaken. Superboy allows Tell to practice on him as an invulnerable target. Tell eventually gets it right before the actual event in which he succeeds on the first try.

Tell is then imprisoned by the Viceroy, but the Swiss people storm the castle. With a little help from Superboy the people overthrow the dictator and free William Tell. Superboy returns to his own time to write his report.
