Synopsis:
Mr. Mxyzptlk returns from the 5th dimension to play tricks on Superman. Superman tries to send Mxyzptlk back home by making him say his name backwards. This time however, the imp has an alarm, that warns him when he is about to say his name backwards.

Superman gets Mxyzptlk to remove his hat, where the alarm is stored. However, when Superman and Lois Lane trick him into saying Kltpzyxm, Mxyzptlk’s head cold prevents makes him lose his voice. Finally Superman gets the imp to watch a newsreel of his previous antics. The newsreel is played backwards so that the word Kltpzyxm is spoken. The vibrations of his own voice, even though it was recorded, send the imp home for 90 days.
