Synopsis:

Batman finds he is the unwilling star of Joker's film, discovering that Cindy has all along been a hired actress. Joker, meanwhile, realises that this is certainly not the Batman he knows. Batman is able to free the Joker's prisoners, then lashes out violently at the madman, whose life is quite possibly saved by the timely arrival of the police. Badly injured though he is, the Joker nevertheless makes good his escape from an ambulance...
