Rocky Grimes is released from prison after a twenty year sentence. While in prison he had amnesia, but upon his release his memory is restored. He remembers how his gang set him up to be caught after hitting him in the head with a stone. Rocky now decides to have his revenge.

Rocky begins tracking down the former members of his old gang. He then murders them using stones. After two murders, Batman prevents the third and begins hunting Grimes. Batman deduces the next two potential victims and is able to stop the murders. He then battles Grimes, who slips on hailstones and falls to his death.
