Synopsis

In Metropolis Football Team Poisoned - Pt 04, Clark Kent finds himself embroiled in a mystery that threatens the future of Metropolis University. After witnessing the football team collapse during a critical game, he learns that the team's success is tied to a $3 million legacy left by an old graduate, Richard. The university must raise $500,000 through the team's performance to secure the funds, but if they fail, the money will go to three unidentified beneficiaries. Clark suspects that one of these heirs is sabotaging the team to prevent the university from receiving the legacy.
