Synopsis
  • http://www.dcindexes.com/indexes/indexes.php?character=7&choice=appearances plot summary from dcindexes.com
  • The gang leader of Chinatown Sung Wah is assassinated along the docks. The Crimson Avenger learns that a new gang boss, Hop Yin, is trying to take over Chinatown and the entire city. He locates their hide-out and spies on their plans. He is momentarily captured, but he escapes and learns of their plan to destroy police headquarters. He uses his gas gun to put the crooks to sleep, but the gang boss activates a bomb. The Crimson Avenger has just enough time to escape the blast, but the gang does not.
  • Slam and Shorty rescue a girl, whose boat is capsized by a speedboat. They pursue the men who caused the accident, then help the girl, Jessica Mason, back to her house. Jessica is an heiress and fears her uncle Gerard. When they reach the house, Gerard is working with the men who crashed into Jessica's boat. They try to kill Jessica again, but Slam comes to the rescue again. Slam discovers that Gerard is an imposter. He rescues the real Gerard, then apprehends the crooks, who were out to steal Jessica's estate.
  • Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson travel across country and find a town run by a racketeer, Bugs Norton, and a corrupt mayor, Harliss Greer. Batman sends messages of warning to Greer and Norton, delivered by live bats, that their days are numbered. Batman and Robin disrupt Norton’s operations and organizes the citizens against him. The citizens oust the mayor, and Batman puts an end to the corrupt regime.
