Synopsis:
A criminal mastermind known as the Inventor creates an electro-magnet allowing him to crack seemingly impervious vaults. Batman nearly catches him at one crime scene, but the crook escapes, leaving behind a key.

Batman places the key in his utility belt for safekeeping, not knowing that the key allows the Inventor to track his movements. When Batman is injured he removes the utility belt, and later discovers that it was being used as a tracking device. Batman then uses the belt on a dummy in order to trick the Inventor. With the help of Alfred, the Caped Crusaders are able to apprehend the Inventor and his gang.
