Synopsis for Batman: "Money Can't Buy Happiness"

After stopping some criminals from hijacking trucks, Batman returns home.

The next day, Bruce Wayne visits his banker, Mr. Midas and realizes that the rich man is constantly disregarding his family to keep focused on his business. Seeking to change this, Bruce Wayne investigates more about the Midas family and discovers that Midas' son is gambling at nightclubs and his daughter is being forced to marry a man she doesn't love, but is wealthy as her parents desire.

Soon, Midas' son and daughter face troubles and Batman has to intervene with help from Robin.
