Synopsis:
Barbara Gordon visits the library on the campus of Hudson University. When she hears a cry for help Batgirl goes into action. She finds a man murdered and tangles with a fleeing student. When the student is finally caught, he is identified as Hank Osher, a radical. Batgirl believes the evidence against him is circumstantial and continues to investigate. When she returns to the library, she sees Robin, who is also on the case. However, she is struck from behind.
