Ira Radon, a radiation expert and criminal, is apprehended by Batman. During the fight, Radon is exposed to large doses of radiation. Though he survives the dose, his condition prevents him from commiting any further crimes.
Seeking revenge upon Batman, Radon doses Batman's equipment with small doses of radiation. As Batman continues to use the equipment, his body absorbs the radiation. Then Radon blackmails Batman, forcing him to give up crimefighting and to sell off his equipment.
Batman complies with Radon's demands, though he really auctions off the items to the Wayne Foundation. Then wearing a suit made of clay to protect him from radiation, Batman defeats Radon. In the process Radon receives a dose of lethal radiation. Batman then returns to crime-fighting after the effects of the radiation exposure have passed.

Rather than buy the items, the crooks steal them. One of the robberies is thwarted by Batman and Robin. Batman then realizes that Alfred likely left a clue to his whereabouts. He checks Alfred's secret recipes and deciphers Alfred's code. However, the thwarted robbery prevents Batman from determining the final items complete the clue.
Batman returns to the shop where the robbery took place. He searches the floors and finds a shopping list dropped by the crooks. With the list Batman is able to solve Alfred's puzzle. Batman follows the clue to Alfred's location and rescues him.
