Synopsis:
The Joker begins a new crime spree using special loco weed dust to cause fits of uncontrolled laughter in his victims. Batman and Robin are similarly affected and can not pursue the crook, until they take anti-histimines.

Once they are immune to the dust, Batman tracks down the Joker outside a suburban police station. Batman locks the Joker in the jail cell, only to find that the police station is really a cleverly designed trap by his opponent. Batman and Robin are then trapped inside the cell. Batman whittles a key from a chair leg, then escapes and captures the Joker.
