Synopsis:
The teachers of Smallville High School attend a conference and are exposed to a contageous disease. They are forced into quarantine, and the school is closed.

Superboy offers to reopen the school and teach classes. Using his powers he learns the curiculum and teaches several classrooms at the same time.

During his teaching, there are several acts of sabotage against the school. Superboy discovers that the teachers were never exposed to a disease. The carrier was faking illness. He then uncovers a bank robbery in progress. The crooks were digging a tunnel under the school and wanted it closed to prevent being discovered. The crooks are caught, and the teachers return to work.
