Synopsis:
A new criminal challenges Batman by leaving clues to his crimes in the form of cattle Brands. Batman figures out the first two clues and arrives on the scene, but the crook escapes with the loot. The Brand leaves a third clue for Batman, but using some evidence left at the scene Batman is able to deduce the criminal’s plan. The Dynamic Duo shows up in an abandoned subway tunnel to confront the crook who is robbing a bank. They stop him and deduce that the last clue he left was a decoy to lure them away from the bank, his real target.
