Synopsis:

Bizarro kidnaps Jonathan Kent, calling him "father", and mentioning a blue sun. On the advice of the fortress hologram of Jor-El, Superman uses a space ship to go to such a sun for a rescue. Finding a cubic planet, he lands, and enters a Bizarro Daily Planet building. Attacked by bizarros, he finds a bizarro Clark Kent, and exposes him as Bizarro Superman. They fight, and Superman is defeated. Bizarro takes him to his version of the fortress, where Jonathan Kent is also being held.
