Synopsis for "The Simpleton of Steel!"
Saving coal-miners from a cave-in, Superboy is exposed to Red Kryptonite and pretends to be made into a simpleton, in order to trap two gangsters. Chief Parker and the President of the Smallville Bank and Trust are part of the trap, where "Specs" McGurk and "Scarface" Malone are fooled into disclosing their operation.

Synopsis for The Day Baby Lana Became "Super"!
When baby Clark Kent pokes a hole in the Langs' recreation room, Professor Lang believes baby Lana has gained super-powers from a magical idol he brought back from Africa.
Several further incidents give the impression that Lana is indeed super-powered, but in each instance Clark performed the deed. She seems invulnerable when Clark saves her from a lion and a shark, and capable of flight when Clark hooks her with his fishing line.
In the end, Professor Lang throws the idol in the fire, as he fears disciplining an invulnerable child.
