Batman and Robin decipher the connection between the crooks and Trouble, Incorporated. They track down one of Dean Gray's clients, Mr. Cole, who tells them about his brother, who is hiding from the police with some stolen money. Batman arrives to find the crooks robbing Cole's brother. They are initially captured, but when Dean Gray stumbles in, Batman is able to overpower the crooks.
