Synopsis:
Batman rescues reporter Larry Spade from a gang of hitmen. Spade is injured, so Batman helps him by tracking down a lead on his latest story. In the hospital Spade recovers enough to write his expose of a racketeering ring. The crooks again try to silence him, but Batman is waiting for them. Spade's story is published putting an end to the racketeering ring. Spade lives long enough to see the story printed before passing away.
