Synopsis:
Jimmy and Clark Kent visit Superboy’s former hometown Smallville for a special Superboy Day. Jimmy overhears the children wishing that they could have seen Superboy in action, so he puts on a Superboy costume and attends the festivities.

Jimmy then reenacts three super feats with Superman’s help. The custodian of the Superboy Museum tries to sabotage the events. He does so because he believes the feats will expose Superman’s secret identity, Henry Crane. Crane has been missing since Superboy left town, leading the custodian to suspect him. However, Superman denies the allegation, and when the real Henry Crane, an amnesia victim, is found the custodian realizes his mistake.
