Synopsis:
Batman prevents a radium robbery at Gotham Hospital. During his fight with the crooks, Batman is shot in the knee. The bullet shatters his kneecap. Batman then leaves and returns as Bruce Wayne, claiming to have been wounded while cleaning a gun.

During his stay at the hospital, Batman learns that the radium was actually stolen, though not by the gunmen. Despite his injury, Batman investigates, finds the missing radium, and the thief. Nurse Noreen O'Day suspects Bruce is Batman, but he throws her off by changing the pattern of his heart beat to throw off her test.
