Batman then blindfolds Batgirl and takes her to the Batcave where he unmasks in front of her. Though he shows his true face of Bruce Wayne, traces of wax and hair dye cause Batgirl to believe that Batman is actually disguised. After Batman returns Batgirl to Gotham, he explains to Robin that the escaped crook had left a bug on Batgirl, so he set up the identity reveal to convince the crook that Batgirl had learned Batman's secret.
Batman's plan succeeds. The crook, Paul Crowell, is led straight into Batman's trap. After defeating Crowell with Batgirl's help, Batman learns from the girl crimefighter that Crowell had an accomplice which contacted him via the library. Batman then apprehends the brains of the operation John Hart.
After all the crooks are captured, Bruce Wayne has dinner with Commissioner Gordon and his daughter. Due to Batman's deceptive trick, Batgirl thinks the one person that Batman couldn't be is Bruce Wayne.
