Synopsis:
A criminal pulls off a daring robbery of a shipment of gold bullion. Batman and Robin race to the scene, but are diverted when a nearby bridge turns out to be an illusion. The Batmobile falls into the river, and the crooks escape.

Batman believes the crook behind the theft is the Mirage Maker. A radar blip alerts Batman to the crook's next theft. When the Mirage Maker tries to get the Caped Crusader off his trail with more mirages, Batman sees through them. Batman then uses his own illusion to halt the Mirage Maker's escape. He is then able to apprehend the crook.
