Synopsis:
Dick Grayson visits his classmate Tom Willard, who has not been attending school. He finds a Robin costume in a shed behind Tom's house. When he finds Tom, he pretends that he wants to drop out of school too. Tom brings Dick to the office of Al Craig, who heads a gang of drop-out juveniles. The boys all wear Robin outfits and are ordered to commit crimes.
While Dick pursues the boys as Robin, Batman catches one of them in a robbery. The boy escapes when the real Robin happens to cross paths with Batman. Robin's vision fails him, allowing the boys to escape. However, Robin leads Batman to Craig's hide-out, where the gang boss is apprehended.
Robin then visits a doctor to have his eyes checked. The doctor explains that a blow to the head was causing blurred vision. He prescribed eyedrops and rest, believing Robin's normal vision will return soon.
