The New York Mafia is not happy about this, the present Mayor is actually in their pocket. So they hire the most deadly of assassins to stop, and kill Selina Kyle. Naturally Catwoman prevents them from killing Selina, at which point the Trickster is hired to find a way to stop Selina without any murdering.
The Catwoman, meets Trickster on top of Selina Kyle’s hotel room, setting up a spy camera, and Catwoman ask him if he wants her to put it in her room. Giving her the camera and turning around, briefly, she disappears with the camera.
By this time S.E.C. have frozen the money Selina has accumlated on the stock market, they have got some evidence of the tampering Catwoman did.
Trickster, manages to bump into one of these S.E.C. men and posing as an ex-school friend, switch briefcases. He then rings around local newspapers, and tells reporters that Selina Kyle is the CATWOMAN!!! He then visits Selina and tells her that the person responsible is a guy named the Trickster and tells her he is called James Jesse.
Selina, as Catwoman tracks down Trickster and lays into him asking how did he know. He tells her he’s sorry he upset her by implying she as Selina and she reasons that he just picked the Selina Kyle bit to force her to stop running for Mayor because of a scandal.
But Trickster reasons, Catwoman came after him, but he told Selina so either, Selina has Catwoman working for her, or, Selina is Catwoman after all.
She then manages to secure the contract for killing Kyle. And runs into Trickster again who shows how he could gain the money Kyle accumlated by having in redirected anywhere. After a struggle Selina, Catwoman, agrees to work fifty-fifty.
Stalling time, Selina lures Trickster into a fight with the Mafia. She claims, Selina is in with them he doesn’t really believe her. But she manages to “find” fake ID’s used by Selina each taking on ID they begin to search out Kyle. Trickster is at a restaurant and Kyle in a blonde wig is spotted easily. Using a gun he tries to get her to come with him, the restaurant owner breaks it up and explains this woman is Alida his daughter. She manages to take the envelope from Trickster and pays the owner for helping her. Opening the envelope in purple she finds a note, saying “BAD KITTY”.
Tracking Trickster down she tries to get the envelope but he has seven. He says he’ll pay a game with her for them. She just whips the envelopes from her. Trickster explains that he’s disapointed with Catwoman for just planning to steal Selina’s bankrole. Also he reveals Carlino is going to kill Selina himself tomorrow at the bank.
Selina realises she had two choices: salvage her money, or her reputation by killing Kyle.
Stealing a body that looks like her Catwoman throws it of a building. Already tipping of the police she finds Trickster leaving with a bank book just as the cops arrive. She confronts him but finds that they both are stuck in a mob/police fight. Trickster then reveals that he’s worked out Selina and Catwoman are one person and he admires her plan. He also explains that he doesn’t steal for himself anymore, but that all the money Selina manipulated into her own hands has gone to Gotham Relief.
