Synopsis:
Penguin is released from prison and opens a bird shop. He gives birds to prominent citizens, which draws the suspicion of Batman. Hidden inside the bird cages are explosives which allow Penguin to rob the men. Batman tries to stop the last explosion, but he is knocked out by a gas bomb. Robin revives him and together they chase down the Penguin and his gang. They track him using a bird of their own, then they return him to prison.
