Synopsis:
A ship of shark fishermen is robbed of their cargo by a group of Phantom Raiders, who appear and disappear from nowhere. Batman and Robin join the crew on the next voyage and learn that the bandits are striking from a camouflaged blimp. The Dynamic Duo is unable to apprehend the crooks, but they trace them back to a warehouse. Batman then exposes fish broker Archie Gibbons as the leader of the mob. He sent the bandits to steal the sharks, rather than paying the fishermen fairly for their work. Batman shuts down the operation, then enjoys a vacation.
