Synopsis:
Three criminal inventors begin a crime wave in Gotham City. The criminals commit their crimes via land, sea, and air, and wear animal heads resembling a fox, a shark, and a vulture. Batman is called in to assist, but the crooks escape using incredible machines. The Caped Crusader predicts their next crime and hides in the loot to surprise the Terrible Trio in their lair. He and Robin are then able to defeat the crooks and turn them over to the police.
