Synopsis:
Clark Kent plays pranks on his school teachers. Although he has always had a good reputation in the past, his new behavior eventually gets him expelled from school.

An epidemic has caused several teachers to miss their classes. Superboy fills in for them by teaching several classes. When the time comes for the students to receive vaccination shots against the epidemic, Superboy discovers a broken vial of anti-toxin. The principal believes Clark must have seen the broken vial and realized they were one short, thus explaining his odd behavior. Superboy promises to take the medicine to Clark, who will be reinstated in school. Superboy had planned the whole thing so that his secret identity wouldn’t be exposed during the vaccination process.
