Synopsis:
After learning that Scarface and the Ventriloquist are responsible for the distribution of a new drug, fever, in Gotham City, Batman confronts the crooks in their club. He plants a bug in the head of the Scarface puppet. Using the bug Batman learns that another shipment of the drugs are scheduled to arrive. They have been smuggled into the country inside the body of Fatman, a dead member of Scarface's gang.

Batman raids the funeral home where the body is being picked up. During the fight with the crooks, Batman is accidentally exposed to the drugs. He goes berserk and is barely able to restrain himself from killing the crooks. Eventually he is able to defeat them all. He then stumbles to the Batmobile before the police arrive.
