PLOT:
Batman and Robin attend a reception for a visiting rajah. Light reflects off the rajah’s ring and allows Batman to tune in on the thoughts of someone planning a murder. The thought came across very weakly, but Batman traces the clues to two crooks. While the crooks get away, Batman deduces that they have planted a bomb in the key to the city that will be awarded to the rajah. Batman stops the plot and correctly smokes out the leader of the crooks, the rajah’s ambassador Plethi.
