Mr. Mxyzptlk is having a boring day in the fifth dimension. He lost yet another challenge against Superman and has to stay 90 days at his home dimension before he can return to the third dimension and bedevil Superman, yet again. Of all the people in the fifth dimension, Mxyzptlk enjoys life there the least. The only comfort he has is the beautiful Miss Gsptlsnz, whom Mxyzptlk is in love with. He proposes to her with a gift native to the fifth dimension, only for the gift to break apart and Gsptlsnz to storm off. Mxyzptlk doesn't understand what happened, until he finds the reason hovering above him: Superman. The Man of Steel has travelled from the third dimension in order to bedvil Mxyzptlk and, sure enough, he goes about making Mxyzptlk's day as difficult as possible, such as ruining his dinner, freezing any path he walks on and even throwing cream pies at him. Mxyzptlk tries to get rid of Superman by making him say his name backwards, but Superman sees through every trick, frustrating Mxyzptlk even more. Superman lectures him that he reason he beats Mxyzptlk every time is because he acts from the moral high ground, a power not even magic can beat. Superman's actions today were designed to give Mxyzptlk a taste of his own medicine and make him see how does it feel to be on the receiving end of such jokes. Mxyzptlk won't have any of Superman's explanations and just wants him to go away. Disappointed, Superman says his human name backwards and disappears, saying "Clark Kent" softly so that Mxyzptlk cannot hear it. Mxyzptlk is happy to see Superman gone and Gsptlsnz returns to his side, kissing him in the cheek. She tells Mxyzptlk that Superman explained everything to her, which makes Mxyzptlk angry to and to promise to nail Superman for good next time.
