Dick Grayson's uncle George and aunt Clara drop in on Bruce Wayne and make a legal claim for custody of Dick. Though Dick doesn't want to leave Bruce, the court orders him into the custody of his uncle. The move effectively ends the team of Batman and Robin.
However, George and Clara are really out to extort money from Bruce. They offer to sell Dick back to him for a million dollars. Bruce, as Batman, tries to scare the crooks into confessing, but George contacts underworld boss Fatso Foley. Foley then captures Batman.
Alfred learns that Batman has been captured and contacts Dick. Together, Alfred and Robin are able to rescue Batman and defeat Foley. George's involvement with the gangster is exposed to police, and custody of Dick is restored to Bruce Wayne.

CHARACTERS:
Batman (Bruce Wayne); Robin (Dick Grayson); Alfred Pennyworth
PLOT:
Batman and Robin return to the Bat-Cave after apprehending Gorilla Hardy. Robin then reveals himself as Fred Loyd, the son of an athlete. He explains that the real Robin was injured, so he took the Boy Wonder's place. He then threatens to reveal Batman's secret identity if the Caped Crusader doesn't allow him to tag along on the next mission.
Batman agrees and working together the two recapture Hardy after a brief escape. Batman compliments Fred, claiming that the boy is as good as the original Robin. Fred then reveals that he is Robin. He disguised himself as a practical joke. Batman knew that Fred was Robin the entire time, because he was tipped off by a small mistake in the disguise. Robin decides that Batman can't be fooled.
