| abstract | - While searching for the Batcave, small time crook Mitch discovered an echo chaimber that carried sound from the Batcave. Taking his friend Beany to the location, he reveals that one day he overheard Batman telling Robin about a recurring nightmare where he was caught in a trap he could not escape: A room filling with water that had an automatic machine gun firing near it's roof. Seeing this as an opportunity to eliminate Batman and make some easy money, Mitch and Beany go to Big Joe to place a bet, ten-to-one, that they could trap Batman in a trap he could not escape. Setting up the trap just as Batman disguised it, the two listened to find out when Batman would be patrolling an area near Beany's restaurant. That night Batman is tricked into trying to aid a "distressed" Beany, only to fall into their trap. When locked in the room, Batman waits for it to fill up with enough water for him to swim up and pull the automatic machne gun out of its place and crawl through the hole freeing himself. He then brusts in on the crooks, who have turned on one another since Batman managed to escape, Batman then makes short work of them and turns them over to the police. Later that night in his civilian guise, he relates his story to Robin.
