Synopsis:
Jimmy Olsen petitions to join the Mystery Analysts of Gotham City. When he is rejected, he storms out of the room before the reason for the decision can be revealed. Jimmy then enlists the help of Robin to fool Batman. Robin schools Jimmy on his life and helps disguise him as the Boy Wonder.

When Batman returns from a Justice League mission, Jimmy meets him in the Bat-Cave pretending to be Robin. Batman acts like he is fooled, but Jimmy makes a small mistake that clues in Batman to his real identity.

Batman then conspires with the Mystery Analysts to trick Jimmy. Members of the group disguise themselves as the Scorpion Gang and capture Batman. However, Jimmy is able to discover who they really are. Everyone then unmasks and the Mystery Analysts tell Jimmy he was rejected because he was too young. They then choose to make him an honorary member.
