Clarks Vater gerät in die Gewalt eines Mannes, der gemeinsam mit ihm im Koreakrieg gekämpft hat. Durch die lange Gefangenschaft und die Folterungen ist der alte Soldat jedoch psychisch gestört. Nun will er sich an Mr. Kent rächen.

Jonathan Kent is being stalked by a man who he fought alongside in the Korean War. As Clark, Lana, and T.J. come to Smallville for a visit, Mr. Kent is lured to the Smallville hospital and kidnapped by the man. He blames Mr. Kent for the torture he went through in a prisoner of war camp. He makes Mr. Kent go through an obstacle course like the one at the camp to torture him and make him feel the same pain he felt. Superboy must now be the one to save his father's life and end the madman's emotional pain. He suceeds in stopping the ""phantom"" and Pa Kent volunteers to return him to the sanitarium.
