Batman disguises himself as Donegan and keeps an appointment Knuckles had with some other crooks. Batman is taken to the missing town, which has been relocated to the Everglades as a hide-out for crooks. Robin follows his partner and summons the police. Then Batman and the police apprehend the underworld thugs including the real Knuckles.
