'The Mad Hatter Runs Afoul' Story Code '9739-Part 2' by Charles Hoffman

Holy Headgear! The Mad Hatter has trapped Batman and Robin inside a giant X-Ray Accelerator Tube and Fluoroscopic Cabinet, which when activated will irradiate the two heroes. But after the Dynamic Duo use their Bat-X-Ray Deflectors, Professor Overbeck releases them and then helps replace them with a pair of human skeletons clad in Batsuits. Convinced that his enemies have been dealt with, the Hatter and his henchmen head off to plan more villainy. When a cleaning woman subsequently discovers the bodies and informs the police, it is not long before the whole of Gotham believes that the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder are no more; out of respect, businesses close and people stay at home, giving the Mad Hatter and his cronies the opportunity to substitute Hattie Hatfield's fake ruby for the priceless ruby situated in the forehead of the Golden Buddha of Bergama on display at the Gotham City Museum…
