'Marsha, Queen of Diamonds' Story Code '9727-Part 1' by Stanford Sherman

Holy Adoration! Marsha, Queen of Diamonds, drugs Chief O'Hara with a love-potion, transforming him into her love-slave and enabling her to steal the famous Pretzel Diamond from U. Magnum’s. Concerned over the Chief’s odd behaviour, Commissioner Gordon contacts Batman and Robin and asks for help; but as the Caped Crusader and his trusty chum race to Police Headquarters, O’Hara, at the diamond diva’s behest, telephones Gordon and tricks him into coming to Marsha's love-nest to resuce him. Gordon arrives at the Queen’s hideout, but a statue of Cupid shoots him with a dart tipped with a love-potion concocted by Marsha's Aunt Hilda; now in the Queen’s power, the helpless Commssioner calls Batman and lures him into a trap. When the Dynamic Duo arrive Marsha shoots a potion-tipped arrow at Batman, but the Caped Crusader’s iron will manages to fight off the effects of the powerful drug. A furious Queen of Diamonds orders the Grand Mogul and her Guardians to destroy the two crimefighters, and in the ensuing fight Robin is drugged and captured. Marsha then offers Batman a trade: the life of the Boy Wonder for the huge Bat-Diamond that powers the Batcave’s Batcomputer. Batman refuses on the grounds that no stranger can enter the Batcave, but the Queen gets round this by offering the Caped Crusader her hand in marriage…
