synopsis:
Batman and Robin are on patrol when they spot a Gotham TV repair truck that has the wrong kind of license plate. Finding this suspicious, the Dynamic Duo follow it to the home of the wealthy William Norwood, to find that the truck has been driven by crooks who purposely wrecked Norwood's television antenna to be let onto his property in order to rob it. The Caped Crusaders fight off the crooks, knocking them out. However when Norwood revives, he tells them that there were four crooks, not three, making Batman and Robin realize that one of the criminals had escaped. As it turns out the escaped crook, and mastermind of the plot is Rembrandt Dickens, the writer/artist of comic books based on Batman, Superman and other heroes. He has been studying these heroes exploits and drawing comics so long that it has inspired him to become a criminal mastermind himself. His newest gimmick is using rings tipped with a poisonous ink, hoping to use it to eliminate Batman and Robin and prevent their further meddling in his plans.
