Synopsis:
Batman and Robin meet Dr. Coombs of the Gotham City Museum. Coombs is fascinated with a jackal head he has found in an ancient tomb. When a crook wearing the jackal head strikes, Batman believes that Coombs has gone mad. The jackal crook puts together a gang and eventually captures Batman. The Caped Crusader has figured out that the jackal is really Gibson, Coombs’ assistant. Batman escapes the trap and captures Gibson at the scene of his next robbery.
