After escaping from jail, the Joker creates his own versions of Batman's equipment including: a Jokermobile, Joker Signal, and Jokergyro helicopter. Joker then sells his services to crooks, who use the Joker Signal to summon him when then run into problems.

After a failed attempt to stop the Joker, Batman uses several Joker Signals to lure the crook out of hiding. Then he follows him back to his hide-out. However, Joker beats Batman and steals the Batmobile. Batman escapes a trap, then uses the Jokermobile to hunt down and capture the Joker, returning him to prison.
