Synopsis:
Batman is invited to be a guest conductor at the Gotham City Concert Hall where a new composition "The Batman and Robin March" is being performed. The Joker interrupts the performance and vows to create his own song of crime. Over the next few days, the Joker strike repeatedly around Gotham City at places where musical notes play a large roll. Batman deduces that the Joker is playing the notes from "Laugh, Clown, Laugh". He also learns that the locations of the Joker's crimes are represented on a map of Gotham City as if the city were sheet music. Using the next notes as a guide, Batman is able to deduce where the Joker will strike. He and Robin are then able to defeat their foe.
