Batman investigates and finds shell casing in the car of Scoot Hanson, the driver of Bruce's race car. While searching the car, Chance Collins and his men arrive to remove the evidence. The gambler used a gun concealed in the race car to shoot Jones. Batman battles the crooks. Jones arrives to assist and realizes that Bruce was innocent of wrongdoing. Collins is involved in a car crash while attempting to escape.

Bruce then writes a letter to Dick Grayson to tell him about the case.
