Synopsis:
A group of ex-vaudeville entertainers has turned to crime. They decide to create a fake talent school in Smallville. Children are enrolled in the school, but the crooks intend to leave town with the money. Superboy exposes the crooks, then sponsors a talent show for the kids.

Wealthy and spoiled, Wadsworth Mint sabotages the other kids in order to win the competition. Superboy helps the affected children with their acts and humbles Wadsworth. After the show, all the children are given awards for their amazing talents.
