Synopsis:
Bizarro Lois Lane is kidnapped by three criminal Bizarros. The criminals force Bizarro Number One to committ perfect crimes for them in exchange for the return of his wife. They fly to Earth where Bizarro leads them to a junk pile which is considered valuable treasure by the Bizarros. Unsatisfied with stealing the junk, the criminals force Bizarro to committ more crimes.

Realizing that he will forever be forced to act as a criminal to serve the kidknappers, Bizarro leaves to think. When he returns, he leads them to a planet of coal, which is considered very valuable. The crooks tell him where Bizarro Lois is held, and he returns to Earth.

Bizarro is actually still thinking, and Superman has replaced him and taken the crooks to the coal planet. Superman tells Bizarro where Bizarro Lois is and the imperfect duplicate rescues his wife, while the kidknappers continue to count their coal lumps.
