Synopsis:
Two lawyers contact Clark Kent to inform him that the late Phineas Baker has chosen him as his heir. Clark claims not to know Mr. Baker and records have been partially destroyed. The only clue is that the heir was said to have metal in their head. The lawyers want to x-ray Clark's head, but he knows if they do, his secret identity will be exposed.

Superboy tracks down other men named Clark Kent. He finds four other candidates, but he is able to rule each of them out. After a tip from Lana Lang, he finds a sixth Clark Kent. She is a girl with metal compass earrings. The girl explains that the compasses guided Baker and herself to safety after a shipwreck. With the correct heir found, Superboy's identity remains a secret.
