Synopsis:
Batman and Robin follow Spelvin an underworld crook. When he boards a plane charted to take passengers on an adventure to an unknown destination, the Caped Crusaders board the plane in disguise. They are soon forced to reveal themselves in order to stop a hijacker.

The hijacker and Spelvin are working for Ace Radko who has forced the plane to land. Radko then captures Batman and Robin while taking another passenger Rogers hostage. Batman switches places with Rogers, revealing his secret identity in the process. In his new disguise, Batman is able to thwart the criminals. Rogers, who had been suffering from a weak heart, dies in the excitement, taking Batman's secret to the grave.
