Synopsis:
At a police academy graduation, Commissioner Gordon gives a speech detailing Batman’s defeat of the Dragon Society. The Society is a criminal organization operating in several cities. Only the head dragon knows the identities of the members. Batman is able to catch a few members of the gang, but because their identities are kept secret, he can not learn who else is involved.

Batman learns that a crook, Mack Hodges is a member of the gang, so he follows Hodges to his boss, Harvey Straker. Batman then replaces Straker and attends a meeting of the Dargon Society. The crooks see through the ruse, but Robin and the police have been contacted, allowing them to arrive in time to take down the leaders of the gang.
