Synopsis:
The Joker, disguised as movie producer, B.C. DeNil, is contracted to produce an old-time comedy movie. Disguised as famous actors of yesteryear, the Joker commits several robberies, while his gang films the crimes. During one crime members of the gang dress as Batman and Robin, and the Joker outwits them on film.

The real Batman and Robin notice the crime reports in the newspaper. They deduce that the Joker is the man behind the crimes. They track him down, but the crook escapes.

When the Joker finishes the movie, Batman and Robin are invited to an award ceremony held by Cornelius Van-Van, the man who contracted the Joker to make the movie. The Joker tries to escape by stealing the Batmobile, but an alarm sounds. Batman hears the alarm and captures the Joker, sending him back to prison.
