Synopsis:
Batgirl follows a gang of crooks into Misty Swamp. She holds her own against the gang until Batman and Robin arrive. Batman falls in the swamp and shows symptoms of swamp fever. After researching the condition, Batgirl learns that within a week Batman will collapse. She knows that Batman will not stop fighting crime, so she conspires with Robin to help him.
Batgirl and Robin decide to team up, so that they can get to crimes before Batman. After several nights, Batman changes his crime fighting routine and is able to beat Batgirl and Robin to a crime scene. As Batgirl feared would happen, Batman collapses from the swamp fever before his fight with the crooks is over. Fortunately, Batgirl and Robin arrive in time to protect him from the crooks.
Batman praises Batgirl for her plan, admitting that despite the sickness, he would have continued crime fighting. Bruce then spends the next few days in bed to recuperate.
