Batman catches Nails Finney and his mob, but can't hold them because the stolen radium can't be found.

This time Batman is able to follow the crooks back to Van Orsdell's estate. He finds the crooks with the stolen radium which they had hidden in a hollow tree. Batman is assisted in apprehending them when the tree falls on top of them.
