Synopsis
Clark and his pals are invited in to view and then fly some very unusual kites, invented by a man named Hoke. However, it's Superboy who discovers unusual mechanisms in the kites that leads him to believe the kites are anything but innocent play things...and he's right: they are being used by a ingenious counterfeiting ring.
