An American science fiction television special directed by George Blair. It was intended to be the first episode in a new series, spun-off from Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) which had been cancelled following the death of star George Reeves. Though a revival of the original series had been considered with a new actor, the producers instead opted to make a new series focussing on Superman's early years on Earth. In the event only this single episode was made though it was not broadcast. It was later released on video and on DVD as part of the Smallville: The Complete Series box set.
Plot Summary
Even in his teenage years, Clark Kent had tremendous powers and used them for good as Superboy.
