Synopsis:
While vacationing in the Florida Everglades Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson discover a remote castle near the location where the Dan Morgan Gang disappeared a year earlier. Inside the castle they meet Paul Delion who allows them to stay the night. Inside the castle is a strange door, which Paul refuses to answer questions about. That night Bruce and Dick see Paul go through the door and his butler is shot.
Batman and Robin go through the door to find Paul. On the other side they discover a vallery containing the Fountain of Youth. Dan Morgan is in the valley and captures the Dynamic Duo. Paul, who is also a prisoner, explains that his ancestors discovered the valley and are still living there. However, Morgan has chased them into the surrounding hills.
Batman escapes the dungeon, but not before the crooks try to force Robin to drink from the Fountain. Once someone drinks the water they will die upon leaving the valley. Batman and Robin chase the crooks out of the valley. Robin does not die because he only pretended to drink the water. Dan and his gang do die because Paul's ancestor Ponce De Leon tricked them into drinking the Fountain's water.
