Synopsis for "The Return of Doctor Death"
Less than a week after Dr. Death has seemingly perished in the previous issue, Bruce Wayne reads of a death which sounds suspiciously like his enemy's handiwork. Posing as a reporter, he visits the victim's home where he learns that Hellfern had earlier threatened his victim. Believing the man's wife to still be in danger due to the fortune in diamonds she possesses, Batman allows the theft of the jewelry so that he can track Hellfern down through his accomplice Mikhail. We learn that Karl Hellfern managed to escape the fiery blaze set by Batman in the previous issue via a hidden passage in the floor of his laboratory. Meanwhile, Batman has trailed Mikhail to a pawn shop run by Ivan Herd through whom he fences the diamonds. After being forced to kill Mikhail when he returns to his apartment, Batman pays a visit to Hern where he discovers that the pawnbroker is Hellfern in disguise. A brief fight ensues during which Batman defeats his enemy and leaves him bound for the police.
