Unable to convince the ruling council of Krypton that their world will destroy itself soon, scientist Jor-El takes drastic measures to preserve the Kryptonian race: He sends his infant son Kal-El to Earth.

Raised by the Kents, an elderly farm couple, Clark Kent learns that his abilities must be used for good.
