Synopsis:
A national Boy of the Year contest is held and finalists are invited to compete for the award. Superboy is disqualified because he is unable to provide his home address. The other four candidates display their individual skills, but are foiled by accidents. The boys begin to suspect the Superboy himself may be responsible for the sabotage. Before the final judging, Clark Kent is nominated for a selfless act to protect Superboy. Superboy proves that one of the other boys was behind the sabotage, then accepts the award as Clark Kent.
