Synopsis:
Ordinary citizens of Gotham City suddenly become the targets of intense hatred. Batman investigates and links all the victims to a certain restaurant. Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson dine at the restaurant to look for clues, but turn up nothing. Later though, Batman becomes the victim of sudden hatred from everyone around him including Robin.

When the effect wears off, Batman deduces that something must have been placed in his coffee at the restaurant. Batman and Robin return there and link the coffee to a waiter. They follow him back to a spy ring, which is experimenting with a new pill. Batman breaks up the spy ring and turns the pills over to the FBI and U.S. Army.
