Full Title : The Riddle Of The Missing Card / Book of Enchantment / The Case of the Honest Crook! / Crime Does Not Pay

Plot : “The Riddle of the Missing Card” – The Joker has assembled a crew of criminals named after playing cards, and they set up a gambling ship far enough out at sea to be outside any jurisdiction. That doesn’t stop Batman and Robin from chasing him, but a simple shaving cut may reveal the Batman’s secret identity.

“Book of Enchantment” – A scientist has developed a way to transport people inside the books they read. He sends Batman and Robin into a fairy tale collection to try and save the daughter who disappeared inside two days ago.

“The Case of the Honest Crook!” – Batman and Robin catch a crook on the street who refused to steal more than $6 in a holdup. They hear his story, and believe that he was, in fact, framed for robbery. They work to help clear his name, but when Robin is seriously injured, the Batman goes into a rage-driven frenzy.

“Crime Does Not Pay” – Batman and Robin encounter a young boy mixed up with gangsters. While investigating, they discover that he’s just following in his older brother’s footsteps. Batman goes undercover to try and learn more, only to be discovered after using the disguise of a recently killed mobster.
