Synopsis:
Superboy returns home after a mission and has a fight with his father. That night Clark sneaks out of the house and runs away. The Kents contact the authorities to find Clark. They even appeal to Superboy for help.

At first, Superboy ignores their pleas to find Clark. Finally he pays a visit to the Kent house with the real Jonathan and Martha Kent. The other Kents were really actors in disguise. They had kidnapped the real Kents and impersonated them in an attempt to expose Clark as Superboy. Clark realized they were fakes, so he pretended to run away. Superboy's plan prevented the actors from learning his secret.
