Batman and Robin pursue thief Eddie Marrow following a robbery. They are stopped by an alien who helps Marrow escape. Unable to pursue the crooks into space, Batman thinks he has failed.

The lawmen follow Garr's ship to a planetoid populated by giant fruit trees and strange alien creatures. Batman and Tutian pursue their quarry across the planetoid. Batman makes up ground on the crooks using his new Bat-skates. Batman and Tutian defeat the Marrow and Garr, then Batman returns home with his prisoner.
