While cleaning Superboy's trophy room, the Kents accidentally break open a space jewel. Superboy cautions them about the dangers of some of his trophies. Then when he returns from a mission, Superboy discovers that gas from inside the space jewel has turned the Kents into teenagers.
The transformed couple begins acting irresponsibly. Superboy tries to keep them in line until the effects of the gas wear off. When the Kents return to normal the next day, Superboy begins punishing them for their bad behavior. Angered by Superboy's actions, the Kents prepare to use Kryptonite on their son. However, Superboy exposes them as alien impersonators.
The alien couple explains that they are exiles from their world because their fathers have a dispute over what Superboy looks like. The couple crash landed on Earth, but have contacted their families and made amends. They were impersonating the Kents in order to trick Superboy into taking them to be reunited with their fathers. They feared Superboy would be angry because of their fathers' dispute. Superboy revive his real foster parents, then agrees to take the alien teenagers home.
