Synopsis for Batman: "The Case of the Practical Joker"
While in prison, Joker is victim of practical jokes and Batman infiltrates the prison to check the situation with the Joker, where he realizes that the Joker has been pranking himself in preparation for his getaway attempt. Batman tries to stop Joker from escaping prison, but the Joker's henchmen outnumber the vigilante and the clown goes free.
Using his newfound freedom, Joker pretends to fool the entire city while still robbing valuable objects, but he is confronted once again by Batman and Robin. During their first encounter Joker gets the upper hand and manages to escape to try another crime, but this time the Dynamic Duo defeat the criminal in a music store and Joker is taken back to the same prison cell from which he escaped.
