Synopsis:
Batman and Robin are upstaged by a new hero, Batwoman. Batwoman manages to capture several crooks, and she even rescues Batman from danger. However, Batman worries that she is irresponsible and is putting herself in danger.

Batman uses clues left by the girl to deduce that she is Kathy Kane, a ex-circus performer and wealthy heiress. He locates her secret cave beneath her house and reveals that he has learned her secret. He feels that criminals may learn it as well, so he convinces Kathy to give up crime-fighting.
