Synopsis:
Penguin trains the son of one of his criminal friends in the fine points of crime. The boy doesn't want to be a criminal and fails. Penguin orders the boy to study his crime files, which the boy uses to write a book. Penguin decides to sell the book to the underworld, but no publisher will take it.

Penguin steals a truckload of paper, intending to publish the book himself. Batman and Robin are captured while trying to stop the robbery. While Penguin visits a counterfeiter to print the book, Batman and Robin escape. They track down the Penguin with the help of Penguin's apprentice. After the Penguin's capture, Batman arranges for the book to be published to illustrate that crime does not pay.
