With no memory of his actions, they must track down three men—each tied to his controversial research—only to find one imprisoned for murder, another living a quiet life, and the third vanished into the shadows.

In "The Crime Predictor," a brilliant scientist unveils a machine capable of forecasting criminal acts, offering hope that Gotham’s crime wave might finally be stopped. Batman and Robin seize on the device, believing it could finally bring down the elusive crime boss Mr. Blank—until the machine delivers a chilling prediction: Mr. Blank will murder Batman.
In "The Man Who Could Change Fingerprints!", Lew Farnum uses a plastic surgeon to alter his fingerprints, then stages a series of crimes to prove he can help other criminals evade detection—drawing them into a dangerous scheme that blurs the line between mastermind and mark.
