In "Professor Strange's Fear Dust," a newly paroled convict named Chick Miller becomes an unwitting pawn in a dangerous scheme orchestrated by a shadowy boss who's using released inmates as pawns.

Convict Chick Miller has been paroled from prison, but doesn't realize that it was part of an operation to get men out in order to serve a mysterious "boss". When Miller balks at the option, he is shot, but Batman rescues him and gets him to the hospital, but still has to be on the lookout because the "boss" wishes to have Miller killed before he can sing about this racket.
