Synopsis:
On her way to a costume ball dressed as Batgirl, Barbara Gordon witnesses an attack on Bruce Wayne by the Killer Moth. Seeking to rescue Wayne, the commissioner's daughter goes into action. She distracts the crooks long enough for Wayne to escape and reappear as Batman. With their target gone, Killer Moth and his men make good on their own escape. Barbara then returns home without Batman learning her identity.

Later, Killer Moth sends blackmail demands to Bruce Wayne. Batman sets a trap for him at Wayne Manor. Barbara, a librarien by trade, stops by to drop of a book for Bruce and sees him apparently murdered. She goes into action as Batgirl again. This time Batman pulls her aside and allows the crooks to escape.

Batman follows the crooks as planned back to the Killer Moth's hide-out. He and Robin fall into a trap, but Batgirl has followed them too and helps them to escape. Batgirl then locates Killer Moth and apprehends him. Batman is impressed by the new heroine and believes she could aid him in the future.
