Synopsis:
Batman and Robin track the Lemon brothers to an old warehouse. While Batman goes in the front door, Robin circles around the back. Batman takes down the gang alone, when Robin does not make it inside. After the fight, Batman checks the alley and finds that Robin was attacked and nearly killed.

Batman begins a man-hunt for Robin's attacker while the Boy Wonder recovers in the hospital. The Caped Crusader apprehends Jim Condors whom the clues point to as Robin's attacker. However, Condors has an alibi provided by Commissioner Gordon, so he threatens to sue Batman and the city. Batman continues to investigate though and discovers Condors has a twin brother Ed who was able to give Jim his alibi. Batman apprehends both men after getting evidence against them and a confession. Robin then finishes recuperating knowing that his attacker was caught.
