Synopsis:
The Kents take in a juvenile delinquent, Brick Ransome, in order to try and reform the boy. Brick is a rude bully, so Clark secretly uses his powers to cause Brick’s actions to backfire.

Brick still doesn’t change his ways, and when he finds Superboy’s costume, takes it for himself. The real Superboy manages to cause the costume to shrink, which saves his secret identity. Later, Brick is playing with a rifle and accidently shoots Clark. He is remorseful for his actions, believing he has killed Clark. Clark, of course survives, and pretends that Brick shot a mirror image of him, to protect his secret identity.
