Synopsis for "The Mystery That Never Was!"

When the plans for a new reactor are stolen by a bunch of thugs, Batman assumes the identity of a criminal to find out who's the mastermind behind the crime. He's able to infiltrate into the same gang who stole the plans earlier, but they quickly discover he's a sham and plan to kill him. But first, they kill his friend, a security guard. Batman escapes the gang and goes after the man who hired the thugs in the first place.
