Synopsis:
Superman and Batman are given an untested scientific device created by a late physicist for safekeeping. When they test the device, the heroes are transported to a parallel world where their counterparts are criminals. Luthor and Clayface are lawmen, who try to apprehend the crooks.

Batman and Superman battle their counterparts to a standstill, then are captured by Luthor and Clayface. They are able to convince Luthor that they are not crooks when Luthor sees the evil pair steal the parallel world machine. Superman and Batman then team up with Luthor and Clayface to defeat their evil counterparts. Finally they return to their own world after Luthor brainwashes the evil Superman and Batman into reforming.
