Synopsis:
John Jones is surprised by the appearance of someone disguised as the Martian Manhunter. The phony Manhunter performs several stunts in town which showcase his power. Jones, as the real Martian Manhunter, trails the phony back to the home of wealthy playboy, Dirk Giles.

On the way to the house, J’onn is momentarily weakened by a nearby fire. Some crooks witness his weakness as J’onn enter the mansion. He learns that Giles has disguised himself as J’onzz to impress his girlfriend. When the crooks show up carrying torches, J’onn has Giles trick them into thinking that the Manhunter is not weakened by fire. The two Manhunters then catch the gang. Giles agrees not to impersonate J’onzz any longer.
