Robin fantasizes how the story might be told in the future. In his imagination, the informant is a tiny genie who transforms into a snake. The crook’s hideout is atop a glass mountain and guarded by a giant ogre. The crook, called Nidor, is a wizard who summons beasts to attack the Dynamic Duo, but as in real life, he is overcome by Batman.

CHARACTERS:
Batman (Bruce Wayne); Robin (Dick Grayson)
PLOT:
A bank robber named Dr. Pneumo is confronted by Batman and Robin. In the fight, Pneumo uses a compressed air gun to knock Batman off his feet. When Batman recovers, he is blind due to a blow to his head.
Fearing that criminals will take advantage of his absence, Batman keeps his blindness a secret. He develops a sound locator which acts as a radar sense. When he confronts Pneumo again, his radar is thrown off, causing pneumo to learn of his blindness. Batman is again hit by the compressed air gun as well.
When Batman faces off with Pneumo again, the crook is prepared with a loud siren designed to inhibit Batman’s radar once again. Batman is unaffected by the siren and captures Pneumo because his eyesight returned when he was knocked out by the compressed air gun the second time.

Batman (Bruce Wayne); Robin (Dick Grayson); Ace the Bat-Hound
PLOT:
While trying to capture the Lippy Yates gang, Batman, Robin, and Ace the Bat-Hound find a giant alien creature fighting some state troopers. Ace defends the creature and allows it to escape. Batman then finds an alien space capsule from which the creature came. Originally it was much smaller, but exposure to Earth’s atmosphere caused it to grow.
The crimefighters try and locate the creature, but are captured by Lippy Yates. Ace’s barking attracts the creature, which frees the captives. Batman and Robin chase Yates across a bridge which Yates causes to collapse. The creature supports the bridge long enough for Batman to cross and catch the crook, but the creature is crushed when the bridge falls on it. Ace mourns the loss of the creature who was his friend.
