Synopsis:
The Joker returns with a new member in his gang, dwarf Gagsworth A. Gagsworthy. Gaggy makes Joker laugh to come up with new schemes. Joker decides to steal priceless models of original inventions. Batman and Robin try to stop him. Gaggy tries to remove Robin's mask while the Boy Wonder is stunned. Fortunately, he fails. The Joker and his gang then escape.

Joker then sends a clue to Batman about his next crime. The Clown Prince of Crime steals the original city hall by lifting it into the air with a helicopter. When the crooks land, they find Batman and Robin inside the building. This time Batman and Robin knock out the crooks, who are then sent to prison.
