Synopsis:
At an art show, a woman claiming to be a greater criminal than any of the current public enemies appears calling herself Poison Ivy. Bruce Wayne is attending the show and offers to escort the lovely lady to the police. Ivy creates a blinding flash, then escapes. Bruce pursues her as Batman, but he is delayed by members of Ivy's gang.

Anxious to prove herself Ivy sends letters to each of the top three female crooks. She also sends a letter to Batman. The crooks and Batman meet and battle it out. Ivy takes out the other female crooks and nearly escapes by paralyzing Batman with a kiss. Robin snaps his partner out of it, and Ivy is captured.
