Synopsis:
Superboy begins performing unexpected favors for several men in Smallville. When the men ask him why he is helping them, Superboy won't tell them. His reason is that when he was a baby each of the men unknowingly protected the secret that young Clark Kent has super powers. Superboy is repaying them for their accidental acts which kept his secret. Superboy also thanks his parents Ma and Pa Kent.
