Synopsis for "The Crimes of the Clockmaster"
Batman and Robin are challenged to a duel of wits by the Clockmaster, a new criminal who leaves clues to his crimes by means of a clock which shows a 3-D display of a new target for a heist every 24 hours. During the first two crimes, Batman and Robin manage to locate the crooks at the crime scene, but they have no information about their boss' whereabouts. The final clue is a small oven with a flower inside. Robin believes that the Clockmaster would strike at the Gotham Baking Company and he goes there to stop the crime. Batman on the other hand, heads over to the Gotham Jem's Exhibit, where the Clockmaster actually is. Batman deduced that the clue meant something different - "hot rocks", and he assumed that the Clockmaster was after the jewels all along. In the end the criminal is captured and his clue machine becomes part of the trophy room in the Batcave.

With Commissioner Gordon's help, Batman and Robin enter a cross-country race as a guise for their real task - to protect one of the other racers from being murdered. Soon the Dynamic Duo prevent some of the competitors from a certain death in what appear to be coincidental accidents. When Batman and Robin rescue a man from drowning in the river, a second man comes out of the water and Batman notices something odd with his footsteps. After analyzing his shoes, Batman discovers that the man was wearing weights on his shoes, which is a connection to all the attempted murders.
