While visiting the library, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson witness Inspector Laurence get injured by a falling statue. The statue was pushed by the Phantom of the Library, a convicted killer and ex-librarian hiding under the building.

Batman and Robin discover the Phantom is Todd Torrey. Inspector Laurence was the man who sent Torrey to jail. Batman suspects Torrey will also target Judge Logan, so he agrees to come with the judge to the library. Torrey strikes again, but Batman and Robin stop him from killing Logan. Torrey dies in the battle, ending his revenge plot.
