Synopsis:
Clark Kent joins a school band which is scheduled to play at a town dance. The band soon becomes the victim of several sabotage attempts. Superboy investigates and learns that Nitro Allen is behind the sabotage. Nirto wants the dance postponed because he has planted a time bomb in a safety deposit box which will detonate at the time of the dance. By having the dance postponed, he can rob the bank when the bomb blows up. Superboy stops the bomb and gets Nitro to confess. The dance then happens as scheduled with Superboy performing a one-man band act.
