abstract | - Batman and Robin arrive at a penthouse party for a visiting Indian rajah when a mysterious box-kite begins dropping tear gas bombs on the party-goers. This serves as a well-enough diversion for Kite-Man, using his jet-kite, to steal the rajah's ruby. Although Robin manages to lasso the villain's leg, Kite-Man continues his escape. The Boy Wonder loses his grip and falls safely into a rooftop water tank. The Dynamic Duo, well aware of Kite-Man's crime spree, drive to Gotham Bay to judge a kite-skiing contest. Nearby in Gotham Bay Prison, Kite-Man uses a giant kite to free Big Bill Collins, a notorious racketeer. Batman has Robin pilot a motorboat as he glides aloft in a ski-kite and reaches the fugitives only to knocked out by yet another trick kite. Batman is taken to the Kite-Man's lair where he invites a number of gangsters to torture the hero. Batman wakes up in a cell and uses the room's wallpaper to form a makeshift Bat-signal. Robin soon rescues his partner and the duo use a number of Kite-Man's gimmick kites to fell their foes. Batman captures Kite-Man as he attempts to escape.
