Synopsis:
Odo Neval, a crook claiming to be immortal, offers to sell the underworld his immortality elixir. He proves that the formula works by demonstrating his own invulerability. The crime lords of Gotham begin a crime wave to raise money to purchase the elixir. Batman captures one of them and takes his place.

Batman the returns to Neval's hide-out, where he discovers the formula is fake. Before he can act the crooks knock him out. Robin bursts into the room and drinks the elixir. Thinking himself invulnerable, he pursues the crooks alone. When Batman recovers he races to reach Robin to inform him that the formula did not make him immortal. Batman reaches his partner in time and together they expose Neval, capturing him in the process.
