Synopsis:
On a windy day in Gotham City, Batman's cloak and cowl are blown off his head. He replaces it with a backup cowl, only to learn that the lost cowl had the secret of his dual identity sewn inside. Batman tracks the cowl around Gotham. Andre Prevot, a stuntman, uses it to get a job. Bandits see the cowl on a sign post and flee before robbing Henry Latham, and Floyd Baker uses the cowl to regain courage. One man who finds the cowl reads the note containing Batman's secret. Fortunately the man is Clark Kent, aka Superman. Since Clark already knew the secret, Batman's identity is still protected.
