When Batman learns of the theft, he plans a trap for the Weather Wizard by taking a ruby from the safe of Bruce Wayne and making it look like a robbery. Weather Wizard tries to take the ruby from the thief only to discover it is Batman. Still, the Wizard turns the tables on his would-be captor by trapping Batman in a box of ice.
Batman manages to escape the ice trap. He then calls Robin who was assigned to follow the Weather Wizard. Batman heads off the crook in the act of making a third theft. This time Batman successfully apprehends the Weather Wizard and returns him to prison.
