Synopsis:
Gotham City is menaced by two aliens engaged in battle. Batman and Robin try to stop them, but their strange weapons allow them to escape. Batman realizes the aliens are dueling and have specific rules they follow, so he disguises himself as the alien, Hylk, in order to get the drop on Zorb, the other alien.

The real Hylk arrives and is angered by Batman’s interference. He plans on killing the Caped Crusader, but Rilla, an alien girl, stops him. The girl is what the aliens were dueling over, but she is displeased with their behavior and now wants neither of them.
