Synopsis:
Dr. Agar unveils a new invention to a group of investors. The invention is shrinking gas, which Agar claims will reduce objects to one-fifth of their normal size. The investors call him a fake and walk out. Agar vows to get even.

Agar kidnaps the investors and shrinks them to tiny size. He then forces them to pay him, or he will not return them to normal. Batman and Robin follow Agar back to his secret laboratory, but are captured upon their arrival.

Batman and Robin are reduced to pigmy size and must escape from a house cat. Batman deduces that they are not really tiny. The room is specially constructed at five times normal size. Batman defeats Agar and proves that the shrinking gas was a hoax.
