Batman and Robin arrive at the scene of a murder. Mel Lambert is accused of murdering his father, but Batman finds the evidence against him to be circumstantial. Robin believes him guilty.
Batman follows other leads which include questioning Lambert's former partners. When Steven Crane is also murdered, the Caped Crusaders witness the suspect fleeing the scene. They track down the last two men involved with Lambert and learn that Alfred Stryker is the real killer. He attempted to frame Mel Lambert for the crime. Batman captures him, and Robin learns not to be too quick to judge people.
