Synopsis:
Having been sent to prison on Bizarro World for repairing some building and breaking the Bizarro Code, Superman awaits his punishment, being turned into a Bizarro. He is granted a reprieve for a week, during which time he dreams that his appearance has been altered, and he returns to Earth as a Bizarro. Initially he is able to hide his disfigurement, but his disguise is eventually exposed. His friends on Earth believe he is really Bizarro and that he killed Superman.

After he awakens from the dream, Superman participates in a arena style tournament with some other Bizarro prisoners. He wins the tournament and is rewarded by having his punishment date moved up. Just before the Bizarro-ray is to be used on him, Superman points out that the Bizarro World is round and therefore all Bizarros have broken their own code. With this observation, Superman is pardoned, and he changes the shape of the planet into a cube. He then returns to Earth, happy that he has maintained his normal appearance.
