Synopsis:
Dick Grayson goes back in time to meet the infamous Cagliostro. As Robin, he rescues young Pierre Patout and tries to prevent Cagliostro from cheating the boy's father. Cagliostro and his men attempt to kill Robin, but Pierre's friend Mignonne and her father Gaston help to save him. Gaston is a skilled puppeteer, so Robin creates some puppets to humiliate Cagliostro and publicly expose his trickery. Robin then returns to his own time period.
