PLOT:
Bruce Wayne finds an old bat-costume in a trunk that had been worn by his father. His father had been wearing the costume at a party that was interrupted by gangsters. Wayne stopped the crooks and later testified against gang leader, Lew Moxon. Moxon went to prison, but when he was released he hired Joey Chill to kill Wayne.

Bruce, as Batman, tracks Moxon to the west coast, but the gangster has no memory of hiring Chill. A car accident gave him amnesia about these events. Batman then confronts Moxon in his father’s bat-costume (his own was shredded in a fight with Moxon’s men). The image of the costume restores Moxon’s memory. He flees from Batman and runs into traffic where he is killed by a passing car. Batman is disappointed that he was unable to bring the man behind his father’s death to stand trial.
