Synopsis
Superman is surprised by an attack from Superboy. When Superboy binds Superman and puts him on trial before his own friends, he reveals that he is actually Pete Ross who has used both a time-travelling machine and a mind-transfer machine he found in one of Luthor's lairs to draw Superboy into the future and switch minds with him. Pete accuses Superman of allowing his son Jon to be taken by aliens. When the jury refuses to convict Superman on this charge, Pete prepares to execute him. But back in Smallville, Superboy, in Pete's body, has broken loose and summoned Krypto. Krypto attacks Pete and frees Superman. Pete and Superboy are restored to their proper bodies and Superman resolves to help Pete recover.
