Synopsis:
A crime boss known as Little Nap Boyd kills FBI agent John O'Brien during a shootout. O'Brien's two sons, Tim and Nick, swear vengeance and pursue the villain. A feud between the brothers prevents them from working together. The brothers are both captured by Boyd, but Batman rescues them.

The brothers then team with Batman and Robin to try and catch Boyd. Tim joins Batman, while Robin teams with Nick. While separately the teams still fail to net the crook, when they all begin to work together, they succeed in capturing the killer. With their mutual success, the brothers mend their relationship.
