Batman stops a crook in a skeleton costume who boasts that he will escape justice. On the way from the courtroom, the man falls over and apparently dies, a fact that haunts the Batman, especially when he thinks of the man's boast. When Death-Man reappears, the Caped Crusaders get him again, only to have him die a second time, only to be resurrected again. Batman wonders: will the third time be the "lucky" charm that ends this menace?
