Synopsis:
After defusing a bomb meant to kill Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson and Alfred discover a will written by Bruce in the Batcave. Robin deciphers a clue written into the will that leads him to Doc Hastings, the villain behind the murder attempts. Robin finds the villain while on the way to warn Bruce, but he is knocked out by a jolt of electricity. Hastings then uses Robin as bait for a trap.

Bruce finds Robin's unconscious body, but instead of moving the body, he revives the Boy Wonder. When he awakens, Robin discovers a live grenade under his body that Bruce is able to defuse. Batman then goes after Hastings. After a long battle, he prevails which ends the round-robin murders.
