Synopsis:
Batman and Robin break up a robbery committed by the Purple Mask Mob. In the process, Batman unknowningly inhales a poisonous powder. The poison will only be effective if Batman is physically active. To keep him out of action, Robin and Superman team-up, and Superman makes Batman believe that he has a broken leg. When the poison in Batman’s system is purged, Superman reveals that the injury to Batman’s leg was a hoax. Batman is then able to return to action.
