Synopsis:
Batman and Robin are prevented from catching some thieves by a super-creature. They summon Superman for help, but the creature delays them, allowing itself and the crooks to escape.

Batwoman trails the crooks to their hide-out and learns that Lex Luthor is in control of the creature. Batwoman is exposed to strange rays from the creatures eyes and gains super powers. Luthor and his men escape however.

Later Batwoman teams with the Dynamic Duo and Superman to confront Luthor and the creature. However, Luthor is able to control Batwoman whenever she nears the beast, allowing Luthor to escape again.

Batman uses his detective skills to track down Luthor. The creature and Batwoman defend the criminal again, but Superman manages to destroy Luthor’s machine which controls the creature. With the creature disabled permanently, Batwoman loses her powers and returns to normal.
