Synopsis:
Professor Skynhedd believes that indulging a child's every whim will make the child more intelligent. Clark Kent visits the professor who is testing his theory with a young child named Smartypants. Clark indulges the girl who asks him to bring Superman. Clark leaves and returns as the Man of Steel.

For the sake of the experiment, Superman is forced to obey the girl as she humiliates him with a series of strange requests. Finally, Superman has had enough. He returns her to the professor. Eventually, the professor realizes that indulging the child turned her into a spoiled brat.
