Synopsis:
Vicki Vale begins a series of magazine photo segments focusing on various law enforcement groups. When she decides to cover Batman's exploits, she gets in contact with the Caped Crusader. Vicki joins Batman as he rescues a man from three thugs.

The man, Tom Macon, explains that he was paid off by Stilts Tyler. Macon spent ten years in jail for Tyler after confessing to a crime he didn't commit. In prison, Macon discovered he was going to die of a heart condition. Now that he has been released, Tyler wants to take his money back. Before Macon dies, he tells Batman where the money is located.

Stilts captures Batman to learn the location of the money. Batman won't talk, then he escapes. Tyler follows Batman to the hidden money. Batman then captures Tyler and his gang. Vicki captures the action on film for her magazine.
