That evening Stubbs and a group of criminals rob the company of its payroll. Batman tries to stop them, but he is attacked by Stubbs’ pet albatross.

When they return, they sneak into Tezcatlipoca’s temple, to discover the beasts are robots created by a criminal scientist named Hartley. They are captured by Hartley’s men and tied up with Regan. To scare the villagers, Hartley sends his robots to kill the captives, but Batman has tampered with them, causing a malfunction. With the scam exposed, the villagers revolt, freeing the captives, and capturing the crooks.
