Synopsis:
Clark Kent recalls his days in college at Metropolis University. While there he came into contact with a brilliant professor, Thaddeus Maxwell. Maxwell, suspected Superboy was attending the University and was in his class. To prove his theory, he gave each student a lie detector test and asked if they were Superboy. All the students passed the test except Clark, who did not take it.

The professor then created several tests to prove Clark was Superboy, but he was outwitted each time. Finally he forced Clark to take the lie detector exam. When Clark passed the test, the professor was convinced that he had been wrong. Clark passed however only because he no longer thought of himself as Superboy, but as Superman.
