Synopsis:
District Attorney Harvey Kent presents a case against mobster Boss Moroni. Moroni throws acid at Kent, striking the D.A. in the face. One side of Kent’s face is scared horribly. The accident unbalances Kent, causing him to turn to crime. Using Moroni’s lucky two-headed coin, which Kent has now scarred one side of, Kent begins a criminal career as Two-Face. The coin decides his actions. If the unscarred side turns up, Two-Face sides with good; if the scarred side turns up, he sides with evil.

Batman and Robin try to stop Two-Face. Batman feels sorry for Harvey because of the accident. He believes Harvey should wait for a plastic surgeon, Dr. Ekhart, to return to America, but the doctor is in a Nazi concentration camp. When Batman finally catches Two-Face, the crook flips his coin to decide his course of action, but the coin lands on its edge, leaving his future action undecided.
