Synopsis:
A hobo steals a new type of bomb from a scientist’s laboratory. The hobo is unaware of the danger and tries to escape from Batman and Robin. He drops the bomb cannister onto a train, forcing the Dynamic Duo to chase after it.

The cannister is found by some boy scouts, but before Batman can locate it, some ex-cons get a hold of it. Batman and Robin catch them, but the cannister is hidden elsewhere. Burns, an escaped prisoner, finds it and activates it. Bat-Hound jumps the man, so he places it in Ace’s collar. Batman is finally able to find and deactivate the bomb moments before it goes off.
