Synopsis
  • Answering to a too-good-to-be-true ad in the paper offering free room and board to somebody who fits her physical description, Barbara Gordon soon finds herself selected to live with.... Batgirl!?
  • The Joker steals an anti-gravity device and uses it to facilitate his robberies and to trap Batman and Robin.
  • This is really a stewardess named Darlene Daweson who is looking for somebody to live in her apartment while she is gone on various flights. She asks Barbara to dress up as Batgirl and pretend to be Dawson at a costume party while she really goes to visit her grandfather, so as not to break both promises to attend. Leaving Barbara with the Batgirl costume, Darlene explains that her escort would come at 9:00 that evening. When 9:00 finally rolls around, Batgirl is shocked to see that her escort is none other than Batman... or at least somebody dressed up like the caped crusader. However this guy in the Batman costume tries to kill her with a gun but the two end up in a struggle where "Batman" makes away with Batgirl's purse and leaves thinking that he'd thrown Batgirl out the window to be splattered on the pavement below. Following "Batman" to the costume party, she finds him meeting with other crooks dressed up like Superman, Flash, and the Green Lantern and that the contents in her purse are really jewels. Batgirl then attacks them, but the crooks gain the upper hand. Reaching her handbag hoping to grab a weapon to use against them, Batgirl soon realizes this isn't her real weapons bag, but only a costume version of it, just as one of the crooks trains a gun on her. This story is continued in next issue....
