[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Clark and Lex team up to rescue Clark's high school class after Earl Jenkins (Tony Todd), a janitor, takes them hostage in LuthorCorp. He claims his deadly "jitters" were caused by a mysterious contaminant and threatens to kill everyone unless he is shown a secret sublevel 3- which Lionel Luthor denies ever existed. Eventually Clark finds Level 3, but as Earl stands on a rickety bridge he suddenly gets another outburst of the 'jitters'. As Lex clings to the janitor hanging from the bridge which is about to crash to the floor Clark tries to pull them up only to find that the janitor is infused with Kryptonite making it difficult for Clark.
