A criminal known as the Black Diamond arranges for four criminal specialists to be broken out of jail. He then orders them to kill Batman. After murder attempts by Nitro Nelson and the Barracuda Brothers fail, Bull's-Eye Kendall takes his shot at Batman with a sniper rifle. However, Batman is able to avoid the sniper, then disguises himself as Kendall. He returns to the Black Diamond's hide-out and apprehends the crook.
