Synopsis:
Bizarro World is invaded from underground by a race of Blue Kryptonite men. The Bizarros are happy about the invasion except for the Mayor who realizes he will be Mayor of nothing if the invaders destroy the city. Only after the invaders try to reshape Bizarro World into a round planet do the Bizarros stop being pleased about the invasion. Wearing lead suits the Bizarros try to stop the enemy army, but Blue Kryptonite penetrates their lead shielding. Bizarro Jimmy Olsen uses the duplicator ray to create imperfect lead suits which can stop the harmful rays of Blue K for the junior Bizarros. The Bizarro children defeat the invasion force, sending them back underground.
