A woman comes to Bruce Wayne's office because she believes her husband is doomed to die. Before she can explain further, the woman runs off. Batman investigates. He finds the woman, Angie Randall, and her husband Laird. He then saves their lives from two hired killers.

The couple then continue on to their destination. Van Paxton, the man who hired the killers, then tries to kill them again. His own wife, Audrey, steps in front of the bullet fired from Paxton's gun. Audrey is Angie's twin, and the woman who went to see Bruce. After accidentally shooting his own wife, Paxton falls to his own death.
