Synopsis:
Superman goes to bed on the night of March 31st. He is awakened by a phone call from Perry White the next morning. When he arrives at the office, Perry looks like a Bizarro. This is only the beginning of strange occurances this day.

Lori Lemaris has legs instead of a tail, Supergirl reveals herself to the world, Krypto makes Jimmy his master, Streaky makes Lois his master, and the two animals chase each other around the Daily Planet office. Lois Lane is dating Mr. Mxyzptlk who willingly sends himself back to the 5th dimension. Lana Lang sells ice cream and attempts to kill Superman. He is then rescued by three of his most hated foes, each of whom knows his secret identity.
