Synopsis:
B.G. Hunter, a big-game hunter, schemes to trap the Batman. He breaks Roy Reynolds out of jail to devise a getaway gimmick for his men. Hunter intentionally has the men leave clues behind as they flee the crime scene. Batman is able to follow them using the scent of nearby flowers. He falls into Hunter's trap and is entangled in a plastic bag without air. When Hunter thinks Batman is unconscious, he opens the bag. Batman was using a special flower to breathe, so he is still awake. Once the bag is open, Batman apprehends Hunter and Reynolds.
