Synopsis:
Batman and Robin visit Mississippi to find the gang behind a string of robberies connecting to a travelling showboat. The criminals involved all have perfect alibis since patrons watch the performers on stage at the same time as the crimes. Batman discovers that the crooks are manipulating the clock aboard the boat, to give the crooks time to commit the robberies. The crooks try to escape, but Batman tracks them to their hide-out and apprehends them.
