Synopsis:
Batman is called to the Mechanical Museum of Natural History by the curator, Professor Hale. When the Dynamic Duo arrive, they find Hale murdered. Batman finds evidence implicating Albert Linke, so he has Linke arrested, but the Caped Crusader knows Linke is innocent.

Batman returns to the museum and captures Fingers Nolan a jewel thief. Fingers had hidden some loot in the museum, but didn’t kill Hale. Batman searches the museum for evidence, while someone tries to kill him. Eventually, he captures the real killer, Carl Danton, the museum secretary, who was embezzling museum funds.
