It's begans off at the Kents' home as Superboy is trying experiment
with making his x-ray vision to see though lead and needs totally
darkness--but the Kents enter abruptly because Mr. Kent had forget
that his super-son need

mechine is really for the junkyard.
The next day, a lazy Mr. Kent wants to see if the newspaper and
discover that he has x-ray vision and he tells Mrs. Kent who uses to
toast a two slices of bread. Superboy tries to get them to take
antidode--but the Kents tell them
they were be careful with it. Anyway, Superboy flies off to do this
usual
super-boy. This first one is to find a reporter that sneaked aboard
one of three rocket ship--and Superboy discovers he doesn't he
doesn't have his X-ray vision anymore--but our alien teenager come
up with using pieces of a meteor to locate the rocket that has the
reporter. As Kal-El is lifting him, he thinks that the flash from
the failed experiment had transferred his X-ray vision to the Kents--
and he decides to keep the lost of his X-ray vision from the Kents.
Meanwhile as Mrs. Kent doing her shopping, she discover that a train
moving towards a crossword with a unworkable signal--she uses the
heat of the full power of her x-ray vision to make the signal red.
At the same time, Superboy next job is to melt the ice around a
cargo ship with explosives. Superboy come up with a idea--by taking
a few portal holes from a sunken ship--and creates a "gaint lens"
which melts the ice--thought the crew of the cargo ship assumes that
it was Superboy's x-ray.
A problem pops up at Smallville hospital when their X-ray can't
detect glass and if they don't find it--their paitent is going to
die. While doctors are hunting down Superboy, Mr. Kent using his x-
ray vision to melt a tar road to trap some crooks. By this time, the
doctors has located Superboy and tells him what's up--Superboy uses
a his finger to locate the glasses-and tells the doctor is the below
the third rib. Superboy sadly leaves and return home to hear how the
Kents used their X-ray visions. Superboy had accidently left his
private dairy open--and discover that Superboy lost his! Superboy
next jump is to clear a path of snow for ambulance--Superboy uses
his super-breath to suck up some fire from the Kent's cellar and use
it to clear a path.
Mr. Kent thinks of a way to double the power of his and Mrs. Kent's
x-ray vision--and gets the OK! from Superboy. Mrs. Kent wonders
what's going on in her husands mind as Mr. Kent tells that he knows
what's he doing. Superboyd discovered that Dad is using the mechine,
open the door and turn on the light--and the flash of energy
restores the Superboy's x-ray vision--thought the Kents lied--and
say it "failed"--but Superboy said he doesn't need his X-ray vision
to see thought--and assumed that they guessed what happen to him and
remarks that "they are SUPER!"
