Synopsis:
Batman and Robin tangle with three thieves dressed in devil outfits. The thieves are incredible acrobats and elude capture. Batman suspects they will try to take the stolen loot to a fence to sell it. He stakes out the place and springs into action when the crooks arrive. The devils escape again, but Robin trails them to their hide-out. The Dynamic Duo is then able to prevent the crooks from succeeding in their next job and capture them.
