Synopsis for "Clown for Hire, Part 2"

Lord Death Man has followed Harley back to her secret headquarters, and knocked her out. He addresses the "Hidden Treasure" hosts and tells them "Lord Death Man will never die!" before Harley takes his head off with her Mallet, and again demands her bounty money... but Lord Death Man has escaped again — head and body.

Tina of Apokolips has taken up residence in a dumpster, remembering her friends back home. She steps out for a moment to save a child from a burning bus, but unexpected receives thanks rather than rejection; and is repaid in meat, which she had failed to find earlier for Coach's animals. Coach herself has hunted down Harley, and reprimands her for giving up - her freakish friends depend on her.

Tina appears with two new friends, and an armload of meat, while Mr Lennick gloats that they all will be homeless in two hours. And Harley - she rededicates herself and hunts down Lord Death Man and the upper class side of Manhattan. Death Man is being grilled by his minions - why does he keep falling for Harley's laughable traps - when a new invitation comes. Lord Death Man is only too happy to come to Harley's deadly bouncy castle. He winks his eye orbit and steps in.

A lion, a tiger and a bear await him and tear the Lord apart, until a hand reaches through the curtain - and clamps onto his arm. It is tethered to a biplane that drags him through an obstacle course of doom, until he climbs up to the plane only to be bisected by Harley's chainsaw as she and Bernie the Beaver parachute out. The plane is plunging into a volcano, and Lord Death Man is detonated, burned and finally left in black pieces in the molton lava before Harley pees on the remains.

Returning home with minutes to spare, the secret patron of "Hidden Treasure" instructs the hosts to pay Harley, even though there is scant evidence left of Death Man - except the patron is Lord Death Man. It's all been a charade to get close to Harley, because Lord Death Man is in love with her!

Elsewhere in Queens, something is wrong with DC Comics: the Flash is an elephant; Batman is the President; and only Jonni DC, Continuity Cop, can fix it.
