Robotman agrees to put on a sports show for charity. The show's promoter Barnum Bane hires a gang to rob the box office during the show. Robotman stops them, but Bane helps them escape to try again. Before the crooks return, Bane disables Robotman's legs. When the crooks strike the second time, Robotman still defeats them even without his legs. One of the crooks fingers Bane as his employer, and the promoter is sent to prison.
