Mr. Hart, a country club member, disguises himself as the Joker and kills two of his bridge partners. The real Joker is angry that Hart has impersonated him, so he tries to help Batman and Robin track down the imposter. The Joker’s Double strikes again at the business of the final bridge player. Both Batman and the Joker have tracked him there. The phony Joker is beaten, but the real Joker escapes capture, having successfully defended his reputation as a master criminal.
