PLOT:
A series of murders duplicate those surrounding Batman's first big case six years earlier. Portraits are disfigured, then the subjects of the portraits are murdered. Batman decides to use the same trap to catch this killer.
The killer arrives on schedule, but has planned for Batman's arrival on the scene. He takes Batman and Robin prisoner and reveals that he is a psychologist conducting a test. He wants to see if Batman's initial success in his first big case was the secret of his career.
Batman then tricks the killer by revealing his secret identity. A delayed radio broadcast with Batman's voice seems to prove that he is not Batman, and that the psychologist trapped the wrong man. Upset that his test has failed, the psychologist kills himself, ending the case just as the original ended.
