In Detective Comics #68 (1942), we see the infamous Two-Face at his most indecisive. With a silver dollar standing on edge between the floorboards, Two-Face is torn between turning himself in or shooting the Batman. He opts for fate to intervene and scoops up the coin, hoping it will provide him an answer. Unfortunately for everyone involved, a police officer bursts in and shoots Two-Face before he can take action. However, Two-Face springs back to life and manages to escape.

Soon after, Two-Face kidnaps millionaire Henry Logan and demands a hefty ransom. Batman and Robin team up with Commissioner Gordon to try and save Logan. They eventually find out that Two-Face kidnapped Logan's double, who was entrusted with the knowledge of the real Logan's whereabouts. In the end, Batman and Robin disguise themselves as Logan and his wife and try to deliver the money to Two-Face.

The situation quickly devolves into a fight, with Robin buried under an avalanche of hay. Two-Face tries to escape on a motorcycle but is ultimately stopped by Batman. Amid all the chaos, Two-Face longs to have a normal life with his fiancée, Gilda. In an unexpected turn of events, Harvey Kent (Two-Face's alter ego) shows up at Gilda's doorstep, seemingly healed and sane. However, their candlelit dinner is interrupted when Batman breaks in to fight Two-Face.

In the end, Gilda realizes that Two-Face may actually relish his criminal lifestyle and decides to break things off. Two-Face escapes once again and burns down the store where he bought his mask. Batman and Robin team up with a makeup artist to bring Two-Face to justice and manage to raise over 50,000 dollars for a good cause. It's a thrilling story that showcases the complexity of Two-Face's dual identity and leaves readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
