Batman and Robin go to Scorpio's castle that rests on top of a mountain. Scorpio welcomes them, but then tries to hypnotize them into submission. Batman avoids falling under the spell and rescues Robin, whom Scorpio has ordered to kill himself. Then together the Dynamic Duo take down Scorpio and his men.
