Synopsis:

Leslie Thompkins is counselling the boys who were caught up in a conflict between Abattoir and Batman; Graham Etchison, the object of Abattoir's cruel intentions, is with her, refusing to go into protective custody. Batman encounters Lady Clayface, who claims to wish to kill him, though she seems reluctant to actually do so. While she is thus engaged, her lover, Clayface III, kidnaps Graham Etchison.
