Bruce Wayne is broke, after the treasurer of his company absconds with the Wayne fortune. Bruce is forced to sell most of his assets and discontinue his activities as Batman. On their last case, Batman and Robin fail, letting Simon Gurlin escape.

Bruce and Dick are forced to take jobs. Dick uses his job to get information about Gurlin. The Caped Crusaders then track down the gang leader. Without money Batman is forced to work to pay for gas and parts for the Batmobile. Finally, Batman captures Gurlin and his gang. When Bruce and Dick return to Wayne Manor, Alfred informs them that the treasurer was caught, restoring Bruce's fortune.
