Synopsis:
A criminal bird trainer named the Birdmaster begins a campaign to ground every airplane near Gotham City. His birds fly kamikaze missions to knock planes from the sky prompting Batman and Robin into action. Batman takes on the birds in his Batplane, but he and Robin are forced to bail out. The Birdmaster's gang then apprehends the Dyamic Duo and bring them to their boss. Batman escapes captivity, forcing the Birdmaster to flee from his own hide-out. The crook is then destroyed by his own birds.
