Synopsis:
Batman is called to Glass Town to help solve the mystery of three men murdered by glass objects. Batman learns that Geroge Stevens, owner of a bankrupt glass factory, is the leading suspect. He prevents the murder of another man, Judson, by the mysterious Glass Man. Batman then follows clues which lead to a trap at Stevens' factory.

Batman escapes the trap then pretends to leave town. When the Glass Man strikes again, Batman is ready for him. Batman deduces that Judson is the Glass Man, having intentionally framed Stevens to cover his murder of one of the men. Judson is killed when he falls into a pool of molten glass. Stevens joins with his rival Morton to form a new company.
