Synopsis:
Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter, escapes from prison and begins a new series of crimes. His new pattern is to use specialized hats to disguise himself and commit robberies. Batman deduces the pattern and also realizes that each crime is based on the occupations of the jurors who convicted Tetch. Batman is then able to deduce the locations of the Hatter's crimes. When Tetch tries to escape using a giant balloon, Robin brings him down by popping the balloon with a hat pin.
