Synopsis:
The Cavalier returns by baiting a trap for Batman and Robin. He captures the duo, but he allows them to escape, leaving a clue to his next caper behind. Batman deciphers the clue and deduces that the Cavalier will attempt to steal a rare jewel. This time Batman defeats the Cavalier's gang and stops the robbery, but once again the crook eludes capture. Batman also discovers that the Cavalier was not after the jewel itself, but a worthless model of it. The crooks motives puzzle Batman. He knows they will cross paths again.
