Synopsis:
Members of the Explorers' Club try to decipher clues left behind by the late explorer John Svenson. Mr. Challoner claims to have deciphered the clues that will lead to Svenson's fortune. However, he is murdered before finding it.

Batman hears a cry for help and finds Challoner's murdered body. He suspects one of the other explorers is the killer, so he leads the hunt for Svenson's clues. When the killer strikes again to kill Batman, the Caped Crusader exposes him as explorer Felix Landry.

Batman then finishes solving Svenson's puzzle, retrieving the fortune. Rather than keep the money, Batman gives it to charity.
