The stories

“The Atom Cave Raiders!”

Batman and Robin track a gang of thieves who steal from Atom Caves, where the wealthy store their valuables in bomb-proof caves beneath their property. Unfortunately, the thieves discover the Bat-Cave located beneath Wayne Manor.

“The Secret Life of Batman's Butler!”

Alfred is shocked when he is abruptly fired as Bruce Wayne's butler. As he tries to understand why he has been fired, he reminisces about past cases where he helped Batman, unaware that Batman has a secret reason for firing him.

“The New Crimes of Two-Face!”

Paul Sloane is chosen to re-create the role of Harvey Dent and how he became Two-Face for a television program. Unfortunately, a jealous prop man substitutes real acid for the fake acid that is thrown in Sloane's face, and the result is an scarred appearance identical to that of the real Two-Face. Sloane's mind snaps and he begins a crime rampage, with all crimes based of the toss of "Boss" Morony's silver dollar.
