Synopsis

When Professor Potter creates a normalizer ray to turn the Bizarros human, Jimmy plays a joke on him by pretending to be Bizarro-Jimmy and letting himself be exposed to the ray. But the joke is on Jimmy when the ray turns him into a Bizarro! Bizarro-Jimmy does all sorts of wacky Bizarro-things until Bizarro-Superman arrives to whisk him away to Bizarro World.
