The Rise and Fall of the Superfriends

The Rise and Fall of the Superfriends is a 1978 episode of SuperFriends.
== Summary ==
At a laboratory in Metropolis, Dr. Charleston is demonstrating a new robot. Suddenly, a pair of robots dressed like gangsters burst in, and cause trouble. It turns out that Mr. Mxyzptlk is there to film a movie, and has even brought a director's chair and other gear. Superman looks into the matter, and is immediately captured after a Lois Lane mannequin knocks him out with a Kryptonite ring.
Next, Batman and Robin end up at the library, where they encounter Frankenstein's monster, and Mxyzptlk captures them on film.
Finally, Mxyzptlk captures Aquaman and Wonder Woman by luring them to the junkyard. From there, all five superheroes are transported to a haunted house. They enter their dressing rooms and face terrible dangers. Afterward, Mxyzptlk uses mind control to pit them against one another. Superman is unaffected by the spell, and tricks Mxyzptlk into saying his name backward. The little imp returns to the fifth dimension for ninety days.
