Synopsis:
While on patrol Superboy sees a light in the Smallville High School office. He flies through an open window and is momentarily blinded by a beam of light. He reaches on blind and grabs someone. When he can see again, Superboy finds that he grabbed Lana Lang and killed her. He also finds evidence that she was stealing mid-terms from the office.

Superboy brings the body to the police station and turns himself in to Captain Hall. The police show him a note from Lana that tells them she is afraid of Superboy. An examination of the school office doesn't match Superboy's story about the accident. The Boy of Steel is then locked up.

Superboy begins to suspect Lana is still alive after he receives a note that disintegrates, and after Lana's body is missing from the coffin. Using his x-ray and telescopic vision from inside his jail cell Superboy locates Lana in the hands of Anton Lumar, a photographer who has found a method of making three dimensional photo duplicates that disintegrate. The Lana Lang that Superboy found in the school office was one of these duplicates. Unable to leave his cell as he promised, Superboy carries the entire cell with him to Lana's rescue. Lumar uses a duplicate of the Kryponite Kid against him, but Lana helps Superboy overcome his opponent. The Boy of Steel is cleared of the murder charge, and Lumar is arrested.
