Bruce Wayne’s parents were ruthlessly gunned down by a stick-up man. Vowing to avenge their death, Bruce dedicated himself to the acheivement of physical and mental perfection. Using his unsurpassed skills, Bruce decides to begin his war on crime when he reaches adulthood. When a bat flys through an open window, Bruce is inspired to become a creature of the night, the Batman.
Above the crowded streets of Manhattan, a dirigible uses a terrible death-ray killing thousands. Batman investigates, believing Prof Carl Kruger, a self-styled Napolean, to be responsible. Batman breaks up a meeting between Kruger and his lieutenants, but he is nearly killed when the building is burned down.
Batman visits one of Kruger’s men the following night and is led to Kruger’s hideout. Batman tries to sabotage the dirigible, but he is shot. Only his bullet-proof vest saves his life. When Kruger attacks the city in his dirigible again, Batman crashes the Batplane into it, causing them to crash. Batman escapes death, but Kruger dies as his plane is brought down in the river.
