Instead, Batman devises a new identity, Starman, to continue his crime-fighting. Milo begins to suspect Starman is Batman in disguise, so he uses bat imagery to try to scare off the new hero. It doesn’t work, as Robin was able to cure Batman of his fear by forcing his partner to face his fear. Batman is then able to stop Milo and resume his identity as Batman.

Roy and Karen travel to a 'large Mexican city' to hold a special taping of their show "Impossible - But True!" There Roy begins holding auditions for the local townspeople who wish to be on the show. One of them in particular, Horatio Dalbo,

Roy seeks to disprove this claim by having the bloodhound find his briefcase. When the hound turns up the briefcase he reveals that the letter he let the dog smell to get it's trace was never in the briefcase to begin with. Horatio and his accomplice had secretly been attempting to use the
