Synopsis:
On a cross-country train, someone slugs the engineer causing the train to speed out-of-control. Batman is summoned to help stop the train. He successfully boards the train and brings it to a stop. He and Robin then join the passengers undercover to learn who was responsible. A captured murder suspect onboard gets free. Batman finds him the victim of an attempted murder by two other men. Batman apprehends them and reveals them as the saboteurs. They were trying to eliminate the suspect because they were they real murderers.
