Batman investigates two mysteries: he must track down the Death's Head Group who has been setting off bombs through out Gotham, and investigate 6 businessmen who have gambled their fortunes away. He learns that all the businessmen had visited the Gotham Isle casino, so he investigates as Bruce Wayne.
