The villainous Doctor Death fears that will interfere with his planned extortion scheme, so he lays a trap for the Caped Crusader. When Batman arrives, gunmen shoot him in the arm, but he is able to escape.

Later, Bruce Wayne sees Doctor Death’s assistant, Jabah, attempt to kill a man. Bruce saves the man’s life and follows Jabah. He return later that night as the Batman and confronts the doctor. In the battle, Dr. Death apparently is killed in a fiery explosion. Batman exits before the building collapses around him.
