Synopsis for "Fan-Mail of Danger!"
Overwhelmed by fan mail, Batman is forced to hire a secretary to handle all of it. The lady, however, has a crush on Batman and in order to make her temporal job as Batman's secretary permanent she gives an interview and claims that Batman returns all fan mail. This causes the volume of mail to increase, and hampers the Caped Crusader's war on crime. Among the fan mail is an apparently innocent autograph request, but when Batman complies, the autograph is delivered to a forger, who is planning to uncover Batman's true identity using his signature. As Batman has done in the past, he manages to avoid detection as he always signs with different hands as Bruce Wayne and Batman, puzzling the forger before his capture.
Batman, Robin and his secretary finish answering the waves of fan mail and the Dynamic Duo send a message to the world to stop sending them fan mail.

Notes
- "Ace, the Bat-Hound!" was reprinted in Batman: From the 30's to the 70's, Batman in the Fifties and Batman in the Fifties New Edition.
- "Fan-Mail of Danger!" may be considered an Earth-One story owing to the mention of Earth-One character Batman Jones.
- Because Bat-Hound is generally considered an Earth-One character, and the switch from Earth-Two Batman to Earth-One Batman is only a few months away, then "Ace, the Bat-Hound!" is generally considered to be an early Earth-One story.
