Thief Ned Creegan robs the laboratory of scientist Nevil Logan. He steals specials gems which Logan had been using in radiation experiments. Creegan takes the jewels to a nearby fence to sell them when Batman and Robin arrive. During the fight with the Dynamic Duo Ned is transformed into a skeletal figure possessing an electrical touch. The electrical charge is able to stun Batman and allow him to escape.
Ned returns to the lab where Logan explains that Ned was exposed to radiation. He blackmails Ned into helping with his experiments, then gives him a pill that will temporarily cure the skeletal effect. Logan warns that every second Ned spends in that form will cost him a day of his life.
Ned then returns to crime. When in trouble he reverts to the skeletal form and shocks his attempts pursuers. Batman and Robin use electrically charged gloves to battle him and are led back to Logan's laboratory. Logan tries to attack them with skeletal animals, but the Dynamic Duo prevails. Creegan and Logan are then both sent to prison.
