Synopsis:
Batman and Robin stop a crook in a skeleton costume called Death-Man. The crook boasts that he will escape justice, but he is sentenced to the electric chair. Before leaving the court room, Death-Man appears to have a heart attack and dies.

Batman is haunted by Death-Man's boasts that he could escape justice. When a report comes in that Death-Man has returned, Batman's fears are realized. Batman and Robin once again capture their foe after a fierce battle. Once again, Death-Man dies before going to prison.

Batman is still puzzled by Death-Man's resurrection until he learns about a yogi trick of slowing a man's heart rate. Batman returns to Death-Man's grave to find it empty. Death-Man has escaped again. This time he gets the drop on Batman. Before Death-Man can shoot Batman, he is struck dead by lightning. This time, his death is not a trick, and Death-Man remains dead.
