Synopsis:
Batman and Robin witness a robbery using remote cameras from the Bat-Cave. On the way to the scene, Batman receives an emergency alert from the Justice League. Robin handles the case alone, while Batman meets the JLA.

Robin finds the Flower Gang robbing an art gallery. The gang tricks Robin using a plant that induces hallucinations. Robin is still able to trail the crooks back to their hide-out. He then tricks the three crooks and is able to capture them single-handedly.
