Synopsis:
Superman and Batman are disappointed when their sons Kal-El, Jr. and Bruce Wayne, Jr. begin acting maliciously by playing harmful pranks. The boys deny any wrongdoing, but appear to continue their mischievous activities. When they receive another lecture from their fathers, they boys decide to leave. When the boys return, they promise to behave, but instead they sabotage their fathers' crime-fighting activities. During one mission, they lead their dads into a trap set by crooks.

Suddenly another pair of identical boys appear and claim to be the real sons of Superman and Batman. The newly arrived boys rescue their fathers and expose their doubles as the sons of Bat-Mite and Mxyzptlk. Bruce Jr. tricks Mxyzptlk into saying his own name backwards, forcing him to return to the 5th dimension. Bat-Mite, Jr. explains that Mxyzptlk forced him to play the pranks via hypnotism. With the plot exposed, the boys are forgiven for the pranks they were accused of committing.
