Synopsis:
The Joker becomes obsessed with gambling. He kidnaps two radium thieves, then lures Batman and Robin into a trap. He forces Batman to gamble for the lives of the thieves and Robin in games of chance. Batman outwits Joker in each of the games, so the clown is forced to double-cross his foe. Batman squares off against Joker in a giant roulette wheel, but once again Batman prevails. Joker apparently falls to his death, and Batman saves the lives of those in danger.
