Storyline

When the Joker inherits millions from a rival gangster, he gives up crime and lives a lavish lifestyle. However, when he finds out that most of his millions are not real, he needs to commit crimes to get money, but to save face he commits ordinary crimes with no seeming ties to the Joker.
