Synopsis: The Joker, mortally wounded following his battle with Batman last issue, is rushed to Vesalius Hospital for emergency treatment. Batman plans to kidnap The Joker from the Hospital, and to take him to a brain specialist, capable of turning the Joker into a valuble citizen.
Meanwhile, the members of the now leaderless Crime Syndicate Inc. have other plans, and intend to hire The Joker to plan a heist for the highly valuble Pharoh Gems.
The members of the Crime Syndicate sneak their way into Vesalius Hospital and hold the surgeons at gun-point, forcing them to complete a risky and highly dangerous procedure on the Joker. They then escape from the hospital, using Circus Charlie as a distraction, disguised as Batman to lure the Police away.
Unbeknownst to the Crime Syndicate, Cat-Woman witnessed the entire event and had her own plans for the Pharoh Gems. Batman arrests Cat-Woman, and trades her freedom for any information she may have on the location of The Joker. Robin offers to trail Cat-Woman, ensuring they'll know of her whereabouts.
A week passes as the Joker regains his strength, within hours he has devised a plan to steal the gems and cunningly plants a poisoned needle inside E S Arthur's shoe. Before the heist begins, The Joker betrays the Crime Syndicate and sedates them all with a temporary sleeping potion. Just as the gas is due to take effect, Batman breaks into The Joker's headquarters and faces off against the Crime Syndicate.
Meanwhile, Cat-Woman charms her way into E.S. Arthur's home only to find him already dead from The Joker's poison. The Joker arrives and before he can dispose of Cat-Woman, Robin comes to her rescue. The Joker quickly overpowers the young sidekick and Cat-Woman bargians for his life, the Pharoh Gems in exchange for his safety. With The Joker distracted, Batman takes this opportunity to get the drop on him, and the two once again enter heated combat.
Following The Joker's defeat, Cat-Woman escapes from Batman by throwing herself into the sea as Arthur's mansion slowly burns to the ground.
