Synopsis:
Batman and Robin are called in when a museum guard is attacked by three empty suits of armor. A legend says that the armor belonged to three knights out to destroy several opals. The opals are also on display in the museum. Batman and Robin stake out the museum, but they too are attacked and knocked unconscious by the suits of armor.

When the Dynamic Duo recovers, they find the opals smashed. Batman suspects that magnets were used to move the armor. He traces the magnets to the museum guard and his brother. The brothers stole the real opals and used the legend as a cover for their scheme. Batman and Robin apprehend them and return the opals to the museum.
