Synopsis for "The Impractical Joker"
Batman gets word from Commissioner Gordon that the Joker is vandalizing some of the 'key' points in Gotham City. Following the clue the Joker left with a skeleton shaped key, the Dynamic Duo sets off to protect the keys of Angus Ferguson.
The Joker gets away with the Jeweled Key of Kaincardine thanks to a box with a key that stops the crime fighting duo in there tracks.
But they are not fooled. The next time they're trying to arrest the Joker in the fur salon as they just had pills that prevented hypnosis, destroying the box in the process. The Joker escapes and hides under the name of Clavier Ankh where he sets a trap for Batman and Robin. Thanks to his assistant Cornelia, he succeeds and straps Batman into a human key duplicator and plans to give the Boy Wonder a heavy wax job. But alas the Joker will not be around when things will get messy, as Cornelia doesn't look forward to the result.
