Joker becomes angry over the frame-up, so he follows Lyon. Batman also follows Mr. Lyon and runs into the Joker. Both Joker and Lyon get away the first time, but Batman tries again. During their next encounter Joker captures Batman and Lyon and puts them into a lion cage. Batman escapes, and both Joker and Lyon are apprehended.
