Synopsis:
Batman and Robin follow the trail of a new criminal, the Zebra-Man, who is committing a series of crimes. The Zebra-Man has a suit which gives off magnetic force energy, which repels everything around him. When Batman finds the Zebra-Man’s hideout, he is exposed to the same magnetic force as Zebra-Man turning him into the Zebra-Batman.

Batman is unable to control the energy because he does not have a control belt like the one Zebra-Man wears. No one is able to come near Batman as his body now repels everyone and everything. However, he is drawn to an elctro-magnet which gives him an idea to stop the crook.

Robin sets up a trap at the scene of Zebra-Man’s next crime. Using a charged manhole cover, they are able to reverse Zebra-Man’s charge. This attracts Batman, allowing him to get close enough to the crook to disable him and get the control belt. Batman is restored to normal, and the crook jailed.
