Synopsis:
Clark Kent becomes friends with a new boy in town named Pete Ross. Clark is worried that having a close friend might expose his secret identity. Clark becomes more worried when he learns that Pete has an interest in detective work. Over the next few days Pete gathers the physical measurements of both Clark and Superboy. Clark is worried that Pete has learned his secret identity, but Pete really was gathering the information, so that he could cast Clark as Superboy in a play for school. Pete does not suspect Clark and Superboy are one and the same.
