Batman cannot stop thinking of Poison Ivy. She sends him a gift from prison claiming to repent her criminal ways. Batman visits her, but Ivy is using Batman to make an escape. With Batman caught in Ivy's spell, he is taken captive as Ivy rejoins her gang. Fortunately Batman overcomes his trancelike state and with Robin's help recaptures the villainess and her men.
