Synopsis:
Honest men suddenly turn to crime. When they are captured, they have no memory of their thefts. Batman follows clues back to a sidewalk photographer, Ernest LaRue. He follows one of LaRue's victims back to the crook's hide-out.

Batman and Robin enter LaRue's lair and are beseiged by several traps. Batman escapes the traps, but LaRue slips out an escape hatch. However, Robin has gotten a photo with LaRue's camera. The special camera captures brain waves and allows Robin to control LaRue, just as the crook controlled his victims. Robin makes LaRue surrender and release the Caped Crusaders from another trap.
