Synopsis:
Arthur Loom claims to a clairvoyant and predicts death for a pair of men. When they die, residents of Gotham begin to believe in Loom's power. His predictions allow a gang of crooks to commit robberies. Batman suspects Loom is working with the crooks, which he is. Loom sets a trap for Batman, but the Caped Crusader was expecting trouble and stops Loom's gang. He then executes a plan with Commissioner Gordon to force Loom to confess to his part in the crimes.
