Synopsis:
Babs Gordon learns the details of a strange murder in which a socialite had her head crushed. While discussing the case with her father, Babs mentions the popularity of wigs. Commissioner Gordon offers to buy her one for her birthday.

Barbara goes to the wig shop of Vazly. Inside she is fitted for a wig. Socialite Tina Lansbury is also fitted for one. Vazly has invented a device to use the wigs to crush skulls. He uses them to extort money from his victims. He intends to target the wealthy socialite, but her wig is mixed up with Barbara's.

That night the wig nearly kills Babs. She rushes to Vazly's studio, where the crook tries to convince her she dreamed the entire thing. As she exits, Babs spots a clue. She returns to the studio as Batgirl to confront the killer. Then Vazly's assistant Wanda tries to smother Batgirl with a wig.
