Synopsis:
Alfred is kidnapped by the Millionaire Mobster Club, a group of millionaire crooks. They demand that Alfred prepare a meal fit for a millionaire, so Alfred creates a menu which requires special ingredients.

Rather than buy the items, the crooks steal them. One of the robberies is thwarted by Batman and Robin. Batman then realizes that Alfred likely left a clue to his whereabouts. He checks Alfred's secret recipes and deciphers Alfred's code. However, the thwarted robbery prevents Batman from determining the final items complete the clue.

Batman returns to the shop where the robbery took place. He searches the floors and finds a shopping list dropped by the crooks. With the list Batman is able to solve Alfred's puzzle. Batman follows the clue to Alfred's location and rescues him.
