CHALLENGE OF THE CONSUMER CRUSADER Batman saves a consumer advocate from murder and discovers the extortionist who is shielding herself behind his front by tricking one of his criminal allies into revealing the truth.

After listening to the plan and learning about the master criminal behind, Batman confronts the woman and his large gang before finally capturing her. DEATH SHARES THE SPOTLIGHT! When taken out on a date by Jason Bard to see the play "Invitation to Murder", the couple soon finds themselves entangled in an attempted murder of Hollywood's "Royal Couple" Robbie and Tiz Marlow.

This leads Batgirl to Gotham Arena, which is currently putting on a western exhibition which features Big Chuck Walla, who is resonsible for the attempt on the Marlows lives. Battling Walla, Batgirl and Jason learn that the reason he tried to kill Robbie was because Tiz was secretly going to marry Walla, but left him instead for Barlow and that his attempt to murder was out of jealousy over the couple. After learning the truth, and that Walla's exhibition gun is loaded with blanks, Jason knocks Walla out with one punch and he and Batgirl turn Walla over to the police.
