Penguin meets up with some racketeering bosses and goes south to Florida. The bosses set up a gambling club where they allow big winners. Then they follow the winner home and rob them. When they pull this racket on Bruce Wayne, he comes to his own rescue as Batman.

Penguin and his cronies escape, but Batman follows them back to their club and stops another of their schemes. One of the bosses, Canary, turns on his partners and helps Batman rescue Robin who has been captured. Batman is shot is the rescue attempt, and Canary operates on him, removing the bullet. Robin finishes up the gang, but Penguin eludes capture again.
