Synopsis:
Robin calls Superman for help because when he and Batman returned from England recently, Batman began behaving strangely. They find that Batman has been put under a spell by the wizard Fangan. The spell forces Batman to do three tasks or die.
The first task is to conquer a dragon, so Superman gives Batman super powers temporarily and finds a dragon on another planet for him to vanquish. The next task causes Batman to dress as a jester and offer his services to people in town. Superman narrowly averts disaster when some crooks try to use the spell against Batman.
The final command is to overpower the world’s strongest man, so Batman begins fighting Superman. Superman lets him win which ends the effects of the spell. The heroes then learn that the spell came from a trap set in a cave 800 years earlier. Batman set off the trap when he moved a boulder inside the cave.
