Synopsis:
Batman and Robin trail a gang of crooks to a warehouse on the waterfront. Batman falls through a trapdoor and becomes caught in a net with the tide coming in. One of the crooks in a Batman disguise tries to fool Robin into thinking he is the real Batman. Robin takes the imposter to a substitute Bat-Cave having seen through the disguise. After the crook unsuccessfully tries to destroy Robin and the phony Bat-Cave, he returns to the warehouse expecting to find Batman dead. However, Batman has escaped the trap and knocks out the imposter. Robin had been tipped off to the phony by the fact that the crook wore a Batman costume with an old-style Bat-logo without the yellow oval.
