Synopsis:
A strange clock is sent to police headquarters which gives clues to crimes being committed. Batman deciphers the clues and is able to arrive in time to prevent the crimes and catch the bandits. When the clock gives the third clue, Robin believes he knows where the crime is to be committed and arrives at the scene. Batman however thinks the clue reveals a different location and stops the Clockmaster from making a gem robbery. He had sent the clock to lead Batman astray from his real job, but he didn’t realize his final clue had two meanings, so he is caught by the Batman.
