Synopsis:
Coach Kandinski decides to help train Clark Kent as an athlete. Clark tries to refuse, but the coach insists. Clark must try to hide his super powers, but circumstances force him to use them to stop a gang of thieves. The crooks are stealing worthless trophies and making counterfeit coins with them. Superboy finds the members of the gang and shuts down their operation. He then returns to the field as Clark and uses a variety of tricks to explain how he seemingly used super powers. The coach is fooled and gives up trying to train meek Clark Kent.
