Synopsis:
Mxyztplk returns from the land of Zrfff to prank Clark and Lois. Susie sees Mxyztplk's pranks and tells Lois, but she thinks Susie is lying. Susie is upset that Lois has punished her, so when Mxyztplk appears before her, they form an alliance to make Susie's fibs come true.

Superman realizes that Susie is working with the imp, so he dreams up a scheme to trick Mxyztplk. He makes the imp doubt his eyesight by temporarily recreating part of Zrfff in Metropolis. When Mxyztplk claims his eyesight is fine, Superman makes him read some billboards, one of which contains his name backwards. Mxyztplk is then forced to return to Zrfff.
