Disclose Notes: Credits for script and inks confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. Records show that Bob Kane was paid for the pencils, but scholars agree that pencils were actually by Moldoff.

Story presented in 2 parts (with same overall title): unnumbered part I (7.67 pages) and Part 2 (5.67 pages).

This story formed the basis for the 1966 Batman TV episodes "Zelda the Great" and "A Death Worse Than Fate", switching the character of Carnado the magician/escape artist to Zelda the Great, played by Anne Baxter. The character of "Eivol Ekdal" the death-trap inventor, played on TV by actor Jack Kruschen, remains unchanged from comic to teleplay.
