Synopsis:
Batman and Robin travel back in time to gather evidence concerning a phony painting. When Professor Nichols returns them to the present, Robin ends up three days in the future. Before the Professor can bring him back, Robin sees a newspaper article about Batman’s death.

Upon his return, Robin tries his best to keep Batman from fighting a crook, El Bolo, who according to the article, kills Batman. Robin’s plan fails, and Batman is apparently killed just as the article said. However, it was only a dummy used to trick the crook. The real Batman survives and defeats El Bolo.
