Synopsis:
Batman brings the crew of a TV show into the Bat-Cave to do a feature story. One of the technicians steals Batman’s crime file and sells it to crooks. Batman tracks down the thief, then follows him to the other crooks.

Batman tries to take the files back, but the crooks trap him. He manages to escape, then summons Robin. Using a copy of the crime file, the heroes deduce the location of the crook’s next crime. They prevent the robbery, capture the crooks, and retrieve the files.
