CHARACTERS:
Batman (Bruce Wayne); Robin (Dick Grayson); Harriet Cooper; Alfred Pennyworth
PLOT:
Delivery men leave a package for Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. The package contains coffins with Batman and Robin dummies inside. A warning given by the dummies reveals that the pair has only 24 hours left to live. Batman suspects the Outsider is the perpetrator. He chases down the delivery men and discovers them to be the Outsider's agents, the Grasshopper Gang.
After rounding up the Grasshoppers, Batman checks the tomb of Alfred, whom he suspects may be the Outsider. Alfred appears to still be dead inside his tomb. However, the man in the tomb is really Brandon Crawford, a scientist who was able to revive Alfred using an experimental machine. The device warped Alfred's mind and appearance and made him the Outsider.
Batman is able to follow the O radiation back to the Outsider's lair. However, the 24 hours are up. Robin is transformed into his own coffin. With seconds remaining, Batman deactivates the transformation machine, then knocks out the Outsider. Using Crawford's machine Batman is able to restore Alfred to normal, though he has no memory of his activities as the Outsider. Crawford is also restored and given a job at the Alfred Memorial Foundation, now renamed the Wayne Foundation.
