Synopsis:
A gang of crooks use futuristic weapons and vehicles for crime. Batman traces the vehicles to inventor James Lewes who claims that he loaned them to the "World of the Future" fair. At the fair, someone tries to kill Batman, but fails.

The crooks capture Robin, but he leaves a trail for Batman to follow. Batman is finally able to stop the gang, then he follows the leader back to the fair. Batman finds the leader's disguise, and correctly points out the fair secretary Morton, as the gang leader.
