Synopsis:
Batman disguises himself as a carnival swami in order to lure a criminal gang leader out of hiding. Superman agrees to help make the swami’s predictions come true. The ruse lures the gang out of hiding, but they capture Robin and use him to lure Batman into a trap. Fortunately, Superman overhears the events on a belt-radio he used to communicate with Batman. He rescues the Dynamic Duo and helps capture the gang and its leader.
