Not satisfied with letting the crooks go, Batman investigates his hunches. He searches the area where he got the last one. A clue at the scene leads him to a night club, where a magican performs a psychic act.
As Bruce Wayne, Batman gets the magician to tip his hand. Batman then returns to the club in costume. The magician, Mr. Esper, is apprehended and confesses to the robbery.
