Synopsis:
A warp in time sends a man from the future back to Batman's time period. Rob Callender, the time traveller, creates a black light ray which he uses to blind people, while he steals apparently worthless items. He tangles with Batman and Robin, but doesn't wish to harm them. Batman deduces that the man is from the future and is collecting artifacts that will someday be valuable. The time warp eventually wears off. Callender is unable to bring the stolen items back to his own time. Batman places the stolen goods in his trophy case, where they stay for a generation.
