Batman and Robin are confounded by a gang of crooks using military tactics when committing robberies. When they learn from the Elongated Man that a fugitive Nazi war criminal General Von Dort is in Gotham, they suspect the general is behind the crimes. While Ralph checks for leads on Von Dort, Batman and Robin battle the gang again. This time, they successful stop the gang, only to learn that Von Dort was using them to cover for another robbery on the other side of town.
Von Dort has stolen a rare component needed to complete a Nazi death-ray. Elongated Man joins the Dynamic Duo in tracking Von Dort to his secret hideaway. While the Caped Crusaders are occupied, Von Dort hypnotizes Ralph and turns him against his friends. Batman overcomes Elongated Man and Robin, who also falls victim to the hypnosis. He then defeats Von Dort. The hypnotic effect proves only temporary, and Von Dort's plan of world domination is ended.
