Synopsis:
Mr. Mxyzptlk makes a bet with a friend from his home in Zrfff that he can make a fool of Superman for a week without giving himself away. He then visits Earth and hires salesman Jethro Hale to sell a line of Jimmy Olsen endorsed products. Whenever the products are used near Superman, he begins acting like a fool.

Superman suspects that Red Kryptonite is to blame for his strange behavior. However, analysis of the Olsen products detects no trace of Kryptonite. Jimmy deduces that magic is involved. He then makes a new telegraph product which he uses to send a secret code. Mxyzptlk deciphers the coded message which is his name spelled backwards. The imp is returned to his own dimension. Mxyzptlk loses his bet, and the magically created Jimmy Olsen products disappear.
