Synopsis:
A gang war rages in Gotham City. A new district attorney, William Kendrick, is appointed to replace his corrupt predecessor. Kendrick announces that he has evidence against both mobs in a little black book. Batman fears for the man's safety, so he visits Kendrick's home.

Batman finds Kendrick murdered, and Ambrose Taylor, leader of a citizen's committee wounded. Before dying Kendrick gives Batman a clue to the location of the evidence. Taylor's injury gives him amnesia, so he is unable to identify the killers.

Batman brings Taylor in search of the book. The mobsters also seek the book and try to stop Batman. When Batman finds the book and rounds up the gangsters, Taylor recovers his memory. He blurts out that he killed Kendrick and was secretly the leader of one of the gangs. In trying to escape, Taylor falls to his death. Batman then turns the evidence and gangsters over to police.
