Scarface, Ventriloquist Pt.2: "Fever Break!"

On Scarface's orders, William Henry "Fatman" Cherry arrives in Tijuana to smuggle the latest shipment of Fever into the United States. Unbeknownst to him, the Fever manufacturers in Tijuana have orders to kill him, and use his corpse as a "mule" to sneak the Fever past customs. Cherry realizes this far too late, and is garroted seconds later.

Back in Gotham City, Batman confronts the Ventriloquist and Scarface inside their own nightclub, and warns them that their drug-running will not last much longer. Scarface is furious, but completely helpless, as neither his attorney nor his bodyguard Rhino stop a well-trained vigilante like Batman. Batman then leaves the club, but not before secretly planting a micro-transmitter inside the puppet's head.
