Synopsis:
Two crooks steal a recently unearthed lamp from the Gotham City Museum. Batman learns that the lamp is surrounded by a legend of a genie. When he tries to confront the gang’s leader, he is covered with powder. The powder turns Batman into the genie of the lamp, like the legend foretold.

The crooks try to use Batman to commit crimes with three wishes. Though Batman is completely subserviant, Robin and Bat-Girl trick him and prevent the crimes. Robin then steals the lamp and uses the last wish to save his own life. After completing the three wishes, Batman is restored to normal and captures the gang.
