Synopsis:
During a thunder storm, the Norse God, Thor, seems to appear and committ robberies. Batman and Robin are unable to stop Thor because of his powerful hammer. A few days later, during another storm, Thor strikes again, knocking out some thieves in the process of his robbery.

The Dynamic Duo trace the hammer back to a local museum, whose curator Mr. Meke explains that the hammer was struck by a meteorite during the first thunder storm. Meke then goes into a trance, he opens a secret panel and removes the hammer which transforms him into Thor. Batman duels the thunder god, but when Thor’s hammer strikes an electrical fuse box, its power is removed. Meke returns to normal, having been under the influence of the hammer, his crimes are forgiven.
