Synopsis:
Batman and Robin mysteriously disappear for two weeks. When they return they have no conscious memory of where they've been. Robin hypnotizes Batman to bring forth his missing memory.
Batman had caught gang boss Slippery Sam Lorenzo. Sam's gang was out to kill him. Batman kept him safe while Sam informed the Caped Crusaders about the planned robberies of the gang. Batman eventually lures the gang into a trap, but Sam double-crosses him by electrofying the Bat-Mobile.
The shock allowed Sam to escape and gave the Caped Crusaders partial amnesia. Once they've regained their memories, the Dynamic Duo tracks down Sam. They discover him the victim of a car bomb left by his gang.
