Comments:
Bizarro is shown with two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is significantly older than the Bizarro Baby that appeared in Superman #140, but it can be assumed that it is the same child.
Synopsis:
Bizarro travels to Earth to prove himself the scariest monster in the world. He is jealous that a new Frankenstein television show is claiming the monster to be the scariest, so Bizarro attacks the actor playing the role.
Bizarro then flys around the movie studio in an attempt to scare people. However, the people on the sets believe it is just Superman in disguise, so they laugh. Their laughter angers Bizarro, forcing the real Superman to trick his imperfect duplicate into leaving Earth by making it appear that people are scared of him. Bizarro returns to his family with a gift, a Superman puppet which the Bizarro children are frightened by.
