PLOT:
The Gotham City district attorney contacts Batman after four juries return with "not guilty" verdicts in airtight criminal trials. Batman's investigation reveals that one man was present in disguise in all four juries. That same man, Franklin Knott, is running for governor. Batman continues investigating Knott's background, learning that during his time as a lab assistant for Dr. Grover, he discovered e-rays which influence human behavior. Knott is using the e-rays to sway juries and convince voters.
Knott surprises Batman by showing up at Dr. Grover's lab. Knott uses the e-rays and orders Batman, Robin, and Grover to walk into the lake. Batman is able to resist the command, because he attended a political rally earlier and was ordered to vote for Knott. The two orders cancel each other out, allowing Batman to rescue Robin and Grover. Batman then apprehends Knott and a cure for the e-rays is found.
