A radio show starts to air and the host introduces his guest: The Great Jaffeer; a man known for the valuable gem he wears on his turban. At that same moment, four criminals have decided to steal the gem from Jaffeer, not knowing that he is being listened on radio by all the people in the city including Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. When the criminals strike, Jaffeer curses each one of them with a very specific way of dying, but despite the threat, the criminals kill Jaffeer and steal the gem. Bruce and Dick change into their crime fighting gear and they go to the place of Fritz, the fence, who is known for working with criminals and their stolen jewels. After a brutal shakedown, Fritz gives the duo the information they need and soon they find the hideout of the criminals. Batman and Robin bust inside and a fight begins. Robin chases down one of the thugs, who steps on the railroad tracks and an electric shock kills him instantly, just like the curse predicted.

The three remaining thugs escape and one of them decides to leave the city because of the curse. Batman and Robin learn that the criminal is trying to escape by air and they use the Batplane to catch up with him. During the chase, the criminal jumps off his own plane and opens a parachute to stop his fall. However, he falls straight on some cables and the strings from the parachute choke him to death. The second death has taken place, just like the curse predicted.

Batman and Robin chase the only two remaining criminals and they confront one of them, who had prepared a trap to kill the duo, but fails. Batman then punches the man in the chest and somehow the blow kills the criminal. After an autopsy, it is revealed that the thug had a bullet inserted in his heart and that Batman's punch caused the bullet to reach the man's heart. Yet again, the curse claims another victim.

The last criminal has traveled to a desert area as the curse predicted that he would die by water. Thinking himself safe, the criminal forgot to carry some water with him and after long hours walking in the desert, he dies of dehydration. Batman and Robin find the body and they realize that Jaffeer's curse was absolutely accurate. Without a clear explanation, the dynamic duo return home.
