Synopsis:
Bruce Wayne attends a society party where a visiting British lord is scheduled as the guest of honor. When Bruce meets Lord Burleigh, he is startled to discover that the man is his butler Alfred. Alfred doesn't reveal his reason for impersonating the lord, so Bruce follows him. Crooks crash into Alfred's car and try to kill him. Batman and Robin stop them.

Alfred then explains that he visited Lord Burleigh earlier in the day. Burleigh is a recluse and thought Alfred was an actor sent to fill in for him at the party. Batman then pays a visit to Burleigh, only to discover the man who hired Alfred was not the British lord.

Batman is captured and imprisoned in the basement with the real Lord Burleigh. Batman learns that Stevens, the lord's assistant, is behind the attacks. Batman tricks the crooks into freeing him. Then he defeats them and rescues Lord Burleigh.
