Synopsis:
Elton Craig escapes jail, pursued by Superman and the Dynamic Duo. The heroes suspect that Craig has hidden the one remaining super-power pill, and he intends to use it. Batwoman also shows up to pursue the fugitive, but Batman sends her away.

Batwoman however is the first to find Craig. He is about to take the pill, but Batwoman takes it away from him and uses it herself. After Craig is recaptured, Batman warns Batwoman to go home as her powers are dangerous. This angers Kathy, so she vows to use her powers to uncover the secret identities of Superman and Batman.

She trails the Caped Crusaders around town until they finally give her the slip. Undetered, Kathy uses her X-ray vision to locate the Batcave and learn about the owners of the mansion above. She then sets out to find out Superman’s identity.

Despite her best efforts, Batwoman can not learn Superman’s secret. Batman’s quick thinking, disguising himself as Clark Kent, prevents such a discovery. When her powers wear off, she is disappointed about not learning Superman’s secret. Batman also reveals that the Batcave she discovered was a fake created by Superman to fool her. Kathy is left without knowing either secret, but Batman promises to be more receptive to her help in the future.
