Synopsis for "The Strange Death of Superboy!"

Clark Kent finally gets tired of taking Bash Bashford's guff, especially when Bash muscles in on Lana Lang. He removes his own Superboy powers with a controlled application of Kryptonite radiation. Normalized, Clark is able to fight and beat Bash on his own terms. He also triumphs over him in football scrimmage, but Bash sustains a head injury which can only be treated successfully by a European surgeon within an hour. Realizing Superboy's powers are needed again, Clark consumes a controlled amount of Kryptonite to repulse the radiation in his body, survives, regains his powers, and, as Superboy, flies the surgeon back in time to save Bash's life. When Bash recovers, he apologizes to Clark.
