Synopsis:
During an accident at a synthetic gem factory, Batman is exposed to the rays of a strange machine. His body now gives off deadly heat, and he can only breathe methane. Robin constructs a plastic dome for him to continue fighting crime in.

Brains Beldon, a gang leader, has his men attack Batman and try to break open the shell. While this is going on, the crook robs an armored car. The police are called away to help Batman, allowing Beldon to make an easy getaway.

Batman pursues Beldon to a dam. Beldon unleashes the flood waters on the town below, but Batman uses the heat he is generating to cut the dam’s power. Batman is caught in some electrical wires, which cure him of his condition. He catches Beldon and is back to normal.
