Batman is informed that several men that have been released from the Gotham State Penitentiary have disappeared without a trace and just recently, one of them has been found dead.

Batman is taken to the plant and Robin follows him very closely. When Batman is discovered and locked in a cell, he finds a way to summon Robin and the next day, Robin saves Batman. They start investigating and soon they find out the the criminals who run the plant are forcing the ex-convicts to work making arms and weapons for the underworld.
