The Capone Mob has set up a bootleg operation just outside of Smallville. Jonathan Kent and Professor Lang are both trying to have the gangsters removed from town and shut down the operation. The gang decides to go after Kent and Lang, but their efforts are thwarted by a serious of coincidences perpetrated by the children of Smallville: Lana Lang, Pete Ross, Lex Luthor, and especially young Clark Kent. Clark unknowingly uses his powers to locate the hidden bootleg set up; then the gang is caught and arrested.
