Synopsis for Batman: "Hook Morgan and His Harbor Pirates"

A group of pirates steal some merchandise at the pier and after the Coast Guard try to stop their ship, they vanish out of their sight.

The next day, Bruce Wayne and Linda Page go shopping and they learn about the latest robbery. At night, Bruce investigates as Batman and discovers that somehow the stolen merchandise is being sold by a man named Conroy. Batman goes to the man's place without knowing that Conroy has been warned of his plan and when Batman arrives, he is ambushed by the pirate gang led by Hook. The crooks tie down and place Batman inside a cold room. Batman manages to break free, learns the whereabouts of the pirate gang and contacts Robin to meet him at the place.

Using the Batplane, Batman and Robin find the pirates and stop them from hurting innocent people. When the pirates try to escape, the duo follow them and the Batplane transforms into a boat, but the pirates yet again vanish out of sight. Batman gets closer to a wall and discovers a secret entrance that the pirates were using to escape. The final battle begins and after a long struggle, the only criminal standing is Hook. Batman takes some damage but in the end he manages to defeat him as well.
