Synopsis:
Thief Roy Reynolds is convinced that the only reason crooks are caught by Batman is that they try to trap and kill the Caped Crusader. Rather than try to eliminate Batman, Reynolds orders his gang to run away, then use specially designed getaway gimmicks to elude pursuit.

Reynolds' idea is successful, and Batman is unable to capture the gang. Batman then decides to bait a trap of his own. When the gang strikes again, Batman and Robin pretend to be caught in a supernatural curse by a fictitious foe called the Hexer. Seeing the Dynamic Duo as easy targets, the gang turns back to eliminate their adversaries. Batman and Robin then overcome their apparent situation and capture the gang. Reynolds himself followed his original plan and escaped. However, his henchmen rat him out, and Batman apprehends him at his hide-out later.
