Synopsis:
Calendar Man challenges the Caped Crusaders by committing crimes dealing with the four seasons. He also tells them he will committ a crime relating to the fifth season. Batman is able to stop him from getting the loot at some of the crime scenes, but the crook and his men elude capture. Batman deduces the fifth season to be the Indian "Monsoon Season". This leads Batman to an Indian magician who is really the Calendar Man.
