Nora Powell, a friend of Bruce Wayne, inherits part of her murdered uncle’s lumber company. Bruce and Nora visit the company and meet the other new owner of the company, Mr. Powell’s adopted son, Jack Clayton.

A series of accidents which nearly kill Nora lead Bruce to believe Clayton is trying to kill her. He investigates as Batman and eventually uncovers a plot by Asher, head of a rival lumber company, to take control of Powell Lumber. Asher had Nora’s uncle killed and was blackmailing Clayton into giving up his share of the company. With the scheme exposed, Clayton is cleared, then he and Nora get together as partners and lovers.
