Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Unwanted Supergirl!"

On March 31st, 1970, one Prof. Miles Morrison tests his Crime Computer at a rally in Stanhope, which site he has chosen because (he says) he admires Supergirl more than anyone else in the world. But, when the computer accurately predicts Princess Jeannette of a foreign country will be killed by terrorists, Supergirl cannot save her. And when Oscar-nominated actress Astra Allison is predicted to be blackmailed, Supergirl cannot thwart the blackmailer from making charges against her on nationwide TV. Even Superman seems callous towards his cousin.

But on the next morning, Supergirl realizes--even though the students at Stanhope have an anti-Supergirl rally--that it is now April 1st. That cues her to the entire affair being a ploy of Mr. Mxyzptlk, whom she exposes as "Prof. Morrison" and tricks into saying his name backwards. When he returns to the 5th Dimension, all the events simulated with his magical illusions-- including the death of Princess Jeanette, the blackmail of Astra Allison, and the anti-Supergirl sentiment of the students and Superman-- are canceled.
