Synopsis for Batman: "Gotham City's Strangest Race"

Batman and Robin learn that several notorious criminals are heading to Millville in old-fashioned cars to take part in the town's ancient car festival. The Dynamic Duo decide to follow them, but they're unable to enter the town using their modern Batmobile and they are forced to use two cars from the 1900's, one fitted to look like the Batmobile.

After thwarting a runaway car crash, the dynamic duo's plain car is too damaged to continue to participate in the festival, so they use the 1900's Batmobile to serve as the final race's marshals. During the race, the criminals sabotage another contestant. Batman soon captures the crooks and find that the crooks were after platinum that had been crafted into a gas tank decades earlier by a criminal that wanted to smuggle his loot without getting caught. After the case is solved, Batman and Robin leave Millville, wanting only to use their modern Batmobile.
