When Batman apprehends one of the gangs Blackie was helping, the crook decides to expose Batman's double identity. Blackie makes several gang leaders believe that Bruce Wayne is Batman without realizing his wild guess is correct. Batman thwarts Blackie's plan and protects his secret.

When Batman begins closing in on Blackie, the crook flees and is accidentally killed.
