Supergirl deduces the magical monster is Mr. Mxyzptlk in disguise. She takes him to the Fortress of Solitude, gets him to repeat his name backwards, and succeeds in banishing him to the 5th Dimension.

Synopsis for "The Godmother of Steel!"

When Linda Danvers detects sadness in the countenance of her friend and dance-act partner Cindy Frazer, who is a lookalike for her, she investigates and discovers that Cindy's foster mother is overbearing and abusive and her two stepsisters are chips off the old blockbuster. Supergirl takes Cindy to a dude ranch, where she meets Eric Prince and begins a romance with him. She substitutes for Cindy in her home, but can't resist giving the three women their comeuppance when their bullying goes too far. In retaliation, Cindy's foster mother leaves town with her daughters, and orders "Cindy" (Linda) to leave. Supergirl thinks she's blown it, until she finds that Cindy and Eric are going to get married.
