Synopsis for "The Joker's Comedy Capers!"

The Joker, disguised as Mr. DeNil, gets a contract to make old-time comedies for film fanatic Mr. Van-Van Laugh. The Joker then takes to commit crimes dressed up as famous silent film comedians and committing robberies while his crooks film the whole thing.

The whole ordeal naturally attracts the attention of Batman and Robin, who soon figure out the Joker's plot, which is an attempt to steal the various valuable objects from Van-Van Laugh. As the Dynamic Duo arrive on the place of the would-be-crime, Joker tricks Robin by disguising himself as Batman, while Batman fights Joker's henchmen. The Joker then sneaks away from the place and tries to steal the Batmobile, but the new security measures prevent him from escaping. The dynamic duo foil the Joker, and send him back to jail, but his movie still is much liked by Van-Van Laugh.
