Synopsis

THE SMILE OF CHOCLOTAN! While Bruce Wayne is vacationing in South America, as Batman, he saves a young boy named Luis Mercado from a snipers bullet. Following the boy into town, he learns that his old friend Wildcat is also in the area, resuming his career as a boxer. Observing Wildcat's match and spotting somebody putting a chemical in his drinking water, Batman strikes and helps Wildcat and Luis escape.   He learns that Wildcat has amnesia, and that Luis is being targeted by a crime boss named El Grande. He explains that Ted was friends with his father, and both were looking for the Choclotan, a priceless archeological find, if it exists. Ted had learned its location and since an attack left him amnesiac, he and Luis have been a target ever since.   Working with Batman, Wildcat's memory is restored, they defeat El Grande and his men, and find the Choclotan idol for Luis and agree to turn it over to a Mexican museum. WHO HAS BEEN LYING IN MY GRAVE? This story is reprinted from Strange Adventures #205.
