Synopsis:
The Joker returns on a new crime spree in which he steals seemingly useless items such as a hairpin, a hoe, a hacksaw, and a hole in the ground. Batman deduces that the name of the items all begin with "ha-ha-ho-ho". Joker then leaves a clue giving Batman enough information to predict where the Joker will strike next.

Batman finds the Joker on a golf course stealing the solid gold golf clubs of the Maharajah of Nimpah. Batman chases his foe into a warehouse filled with comedy props. The Joker captures Batman and gives him a choice of dooms. Batman escapes the death-trap using a water pistol. Then he apprehends the Joker.
