Synopsis:
Mr. Mxyzptlk returns to Metropolis with a plan to pester Superman. Unfortunately, a strong wind blows off his hat, which then ends up in the possession of Jimmy Olsen. The hat grants Jimmy wishes including giving him super powers.

Jimmy then flys off to handle an army of giant ants. The ants force Jimmy to work with them by threatening Superman’s life. After nearly defeating the ants, Jimmy is hypnotized by the leader, Mgoro.

Jimmy tries to kill Superman, but is then awakened from a dream. The ants were a part of the dream, it seems that Mxyzptlk’s hat contained Red Kryptonite so that when Jimmy asks for super powers, he became affected by it. The Red K removed his powers and caused his hallucination. Superman destroys the hat and the Red Kryptonite.
