Synopsis:

While investigating the case of a bond dealer robbing his own business, Batman and Robin return home to be greeted by Alfred. But not the Alfred they know, but rather a bumbling man with a passion for amateur sleuthing, another time anomoly. The heroes soon realises that Biff Bannon and Andy Goodwin are back in town, once more perpetrating their scheme of hypnotising respectable businessmen into committing crimes for them. They are captured by Bannon, then saved by Alfred, who then disappears, presumably back to his own timeline.
