Synopsis:
Two drifters settle in an abandoned ghost town. Soon the town begins growing and the founder, Cactus Tom, is elected Mayor. A gang of crooks arrive in town soon after, led by Five Aces Frogel. The crooks plunder the town, forcing the citizens to make a plea to Batman for help.

Batman and Robin arrive in town and take over as sheriff and deputy. Frogel pretends to go straight, but then robs a stagecoach, kills Cactus Tom, and kidnaps Robin. Batman organizes a posse and pursues the gang, frees Robin, and restores order to Sunshine City.
