Dick Grayson confesses to his classmates that he is Robin. Then he performs acrobatic stunts to prove it. Reporters confront Bruce Wayne, but he denies his identity as Batman. Bruce offers to give the reporters proof that he is not Batman.
Bruce and Dick are executing a plan to protect their identities because a crook called Mr. Camera got photographic evidence of their dual identities months earlier. The crook is in jail, but one of his henchmen is scheduled to be released soon and will retrieve the film.
To fool the reporters Batman creates a Batman figure made of snow on a rooftop. He then appears as Bruce and using ventriloquism to make the snowman talk. Batman then appears to leave the roof via the Batplane, which is actually controlled by Robin. Bruce melts the snowman, so that when reporters reach the roof everything is gone. The reporters are fooled, so when the film turns up it won't be believed.
A short time later, Batman and Robin recover the film only to learn it was underexposed, so it would not have given away their identities.
