Synopsis:
The police believe that Batman is dead and have taken him into custody, thinking him to be an imposter. Batman escapes from the police and switches outfits with a member of the Schemer's gang. The police take the man in the Batman costume to jail, while Batman dressed as a blind man meets Robin to prevent an armored car robbery. They succeed in stopping the crooks, but Robin is captured.

The Schemer takes Robin to a camouflaged submarine where he intends to fire missiles to take down an airplane carrying gold. He then plans to salvage the gold from the ocean. Batman manages to find the sub and rescue Robin. They then stop the crooks and save the plane from being shot down. When the crooks are taken into custody, Batman clears up the situation with Commissioner Gordon, establishing that he is still alive.
