| abstract | - After discovering that the Joker is still alive, Batman and Robin try to attempt to take him from the hospital to "a famous brain specialist" for an operation to make him a better citizen. A gang of crooks decide they want The Joker's help to steal valuable gems. They break into the hospital where The Joker is being held, and force the surgeons to execute an operation on him. To keep the police outside busy, one crook attacks them disguised as The Batman. There is an epic chase before the police kill the phony and unmask him to realize it was a distraction. The gang then escapes the hospital with The Joker. Batman confronts The Cat and she informs him about the gang's whereabouts. Days later, The Joker (being fully recovered) betrays his fellow gang members as Batman crashes into the room. Batman defeats all of the crooks, but The Joker escapes. Meanwhile The Cat goes to steal the valuable gem her "date" has at his castle. When she arrives, her date has been murdered with a grinning smile on his face. The Joker confronts her about the jewel cask she is holding, and Robin busts in the room to attack Joker. As The Joker knocks out Robin, Batman swings into the room. The two both ascend to the balcony to duel with swords. Batman is knocked off the ledge but survives as he hanges from a vine, unknown to Joker. The Joker starts a fire in the castle, and Batman knocks him out. He leaves the unconscious Joker in the flaming inferno as he snatches Robin. As Batman (carrying an unconscious Robin) and The Cat are climbing up The Batplane's escape ladder, The Cat jumps off, plummeting into the water below. As they're flying away, Batman reveals to Robin he has the jewels from the cask.
