Synopsis:
Bruce Wayne meets magazine photographer Vicki Vale at his yacht club. A diminutive crook calling himself the Mad Hatter breaks into the club and robs the place. Batman tries to stop him. The Hatter escapes, while Batman is cut on the chin.

Later Vicki Vale notices that Bruce Wayne has a cut in the same place as Batman. She compares photos and comes to the conclusion that Batman is Bruce Wayne.

While Batman is hunting for the Mad Hatter, Vicki plants luminous powder inside Batman's glove. After the crook is captured, Vicki sees Bruce with glowing hands. She thinks she has proof of Batman's secret, but Batman had discovered the powder. He then used a luminous plant to fool Vicki, showing her that both his hands were glowing. Vicki suspects a trick and vows to follow-up on her suspicions.
