During the performance of a trained ape at the circus, the box office is robbed. The ape's trainer, Arthur Harris, is arrested since the ape caused a distraction at the time of the theft.

The ape, Mogo, befriends Batman and follows the Caped Crusader as he tries to prove Harris is innocent. Mogo is taken to the Bat-Cave and dons a cowl of his own becoming Bat-Ape. Batman and Mogo then track down the real thieves including Harris's assistant Ralph Roder. Harris is set free, and Mogo is returned to him.
