Synopsis:
An alien giant appears on the outskirts of Gotham City. The alien knocks down the walls of a jail causing a prison break. Batman and Robin round up the escapees, but they are unable to stop the creature.

Later the creature attacks Ocean City with a group of common criminals. Batman follows them and sends Robin to summon the Air Force. Batman overhears the crooks talking with the alien. The crooks have convinced the giant that Batman is evil. Batman tries to set the alien straight. He saves the life of the giant when the Air Force arrives, calling off the attack. The gang is then captured, and the alien returns to his own planet.
