Synopsis:
Metropolis is plagued by the antics of Mr. Mxyztplk, a magical sprite from another dimension. The imp travels around town pulling a variety of pranks on the citizens. Superman confronts Mxyztplk, but soon finds that the imp's powers are a match for his own. Frustrated, the Man of Steel finally resorts to trickery. He learns that a magic word will cause Mxyztplk to return to his home dimension. His trick succeeds and Mxyztplk speaks the word. The imp disappears and Metropolis is restored to normal.
