Synopsis:
While touring the Americana Wax Museum, Bruce Wayne has his photograph taken. The photographer is part of Boss Barron's gang, and the camera is really their new invention called an Electrofaciograph. The device removes Bruce's memory and exchanges his facial features with one of Barron's men for a period of twelve hours. After the exchange, Barron's man visits the bank and withdraws a half-million dollars from Bruce's account.

When Bruce recovers his memory, he helps Robin take down some jewel thieves, then investigates the museum. At the museum, Batman and Robin meet the Elongated Man, who is also investigating the mystery. The gang tries to use the Electrofaciograph on Batman to learn his secret identity, but Elongated Man steps in front of the device. With his memory removed, the Elongated Man helps Batman and Robin defeat the gang.
