Synopsis:
Batman and Robin follow a shipment of valuable platinum which they believe is going to be hijacked. The truck is stopped by a costumed criminal, Hijack. Batman stops him the first time, but the crook returns and steals the shipment.

Batman plans a trap for Hijack during the next shipment. Hijack learns of the plan and blows up the truck that the Dynamic Duo is supposed to be hiding in. They outsmarted Hijack however, since they escaped and returned to defeat the crook, who was using his lip reading ability to gain inside information about the shipments.
