THE SIGN OF THE BAT! The only evidence to convict the leader of a ring of jewel thieves is stolen and Batman goes to confront the gangleader. After being mocked by the master criminal Batman devises a plan to make sure that the criminal and his gang are haunted by the famed but dreaded bat symbol each time they try to commit a crime. Eventually, the crooks are driven to recover their hidden loot, and that allows the Dynamic Duo to capture the crooks. THE NEW BATMAN! While cleaning up the Batcave, Alfred decides to try on one of the Batsuits when he is accidentally struck on the head by a catapult held in the trophy room. When he awakens, he suffers from temporal amnesia and when he sees his reflection wearing the Batsuit, he believes he is the Batman. Batman and Robin learn of the unfortunate accident and they allow Alfred to continue his impersonation, to prevent a greater shock to his memory while Bruce decides to play the role of the butler. When Batman is summoned by the Gotham City Police Department, Alfred and Dick go out as Batman and Robin to capture a gang of crooks, while Bruce follows closely. Bruce and Dick make sure Alfred doesn't get hurt while they capture the gang. During a later mission, Bruce suggests that he and Alfred switch places in order to capture the criminals. While Alfred plays the role of a butler, he is struck in the head once again and the blow allows Alfred to recover his memory and give up his adventures as Batman. MYSTERY OF THE SKY MUSEUM! Batman and Robin fly out to the Sky Museum outside Gotham in order to talk with the curator about a problem he has been having and they are forced to save the man as he struggles to keep an old air relic in the sky. Batman and Robin soon start investigating the case and a series of attempts on their lives take place. The heroes suspect that one of the Museum workers is responsible and their investigation leads to the capture of the crook. The curator's assistant is finally captured and revealed as the man who sabotaged the vehicles to eliminate his employer and the dynamic duo in order to cover that he has been helping escaped convicts evade the law.
