It is December 25 and the Joker has escaped from Arkham Asylum. Batman and Robin hear of this, but Robin says that no criminal wreaks havoc on Christmas. They agree that if there is no crime while they are patrolling, they will come home and watch It's a Wonderful Life. They find nothing and return home, only to find out the Joker is up to one of his psychotic schemes. He has taken Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock and Summer Gleeson hostage. Batman and Robin go through many distractions but finally save the hostages.
