Batman frees one of his hands, takes a Batarang from his utility belt, and tosses it at the burning thermite. Breaking off a piece, Batman frees himself, pulls out a Batknife and cuts Robin loose, and they escape with seconds to spare before the great stone drops! Joker believes the duo are finished and snatches a statue of Justice (Libra The Scales!), worth a fortune in carrara marble, from outside Police HQ, just as Venus, incognito as a trenchcoat detective, plucks a jeweled scorpion (Scorpio!). The Dynamic Duo arrive at Police HQ in time to chase down The Joker, who beats a retreat in a stolen police car.

Unable to catch him, The Duo set a trap for Joker and his crew at the home of Basil Bowman (Sagittarius The Archer!). When The Criminal Clown arrives and finds Batman And Robin, he grabs Venus and, with a knife at her throat, makes his escape using her as his shield! Finally realizing Joker isn't to be trusted, Venus defects to The Dynamic Duo's side and leads him to a record shop and there they find Leo Crustash. Later, not only does Joker snatch 2 rare fish (Pisces!!) that were on exhibit at The Gotham City Park Fountain, but one of his men manages to snatch Venus as well, not long after The Dynamic Duo speed off in pursuit. Back at his GHQ, The Joker catches The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder in a huge net and are quickly taken to a water-filled tank, where, along with Venus, they are about to become the main course of a giant clam. The Joker departs to commit his next crime, while the clam tries to swallow Robin!!!!
