Synopsis:
Clark Kent interrupts a fraternity hazing incident by members of Zeta Mu. Dave Hammond, the pledge victim, is angry at Clark for spoiling his chance to enter the frat. Later, the fraternity brothers plot revenge on Clark with Dave's help. They lure him to their frat house to humiliate him. However, Clark is wise to their plan and uses his powers to make their tricks backfire. As a result, the frat house is destroyed, and the boys are made to think they killed Clark. When Dave convinces the others to help him, Clark revives. The incident finally convinces the frat brothers to reform.
