Synopsis:
Joker begins a series of crimes which involve slang words taken literally. After painting the town red with red paint, Joker breaks into a bank that was painted. The paint contained acid that allows him entry. Batman deciphers Joker’s plans and begins chasing Joker around town. The two end up locked in battle atop a blimp. Joker plummets to his apparent death, ending the chase.
