Synopsis:
Mxyzptlk has his name legally changed to Mxypyxm before returning to plague Smallville. Since his new name is a palindrome, it is the same backwards as it is forwards. Mxyzptlk therefore can't be tricked into returning to his own dimension. Superboy is helpless, until he devises a plan to use amnesium dust which erases Mxyzptlk's short-term memory. Superboy then tells him that he is trapped on Earth. Just to be sure, Mxyzptlk declares his name is Mxyzptlk again and speaks it backwards. As a result, he is sent back to his own dimension for at least 90 days.
