Synopsis for "The Russian Exchange Student"
When a scientist's formula to improve the efficiency of gasoline is nearly destroyed, a Russian exchange student named Natasha is accused of sabotaging the computer that the formula was stored on. Superboy steps in when a demonstration of the formula results in a powerful explosion. Again, Natasha is blamed. She is forced to leave the country within three days. Clark and T.J., who is infatuated with Natasha, investigate. T.J. discovers that Professor Gordon's assistant Jeff is working for an oil company that doesn't want the formula to get out since it would cause gasoline prices to drop drastically. T.J. is found and dropped from a window high above the street by security guards in the company and saved in the nick of time by Superboy. Meanwhile, Jeff starts a fire and tries to kill Natasha and Professor Gordon, but Superboy arrives in time to save them and capture Jeff. Natasha decides to leave the U.S. to assist Gordon, who is moving his research to Russia.
