Synopsis for Batman: "Pigmies in Giantland"
A crazed scientist called Dr. Agar tries to convince wealthy people that he has created a shrinking gas capable of turning anything to one-fifth of its normal size. They men don't believe Agar and in turn, he hunts them down and shrinks them with the gas, forcing them to pay him large amounts of money before turning them back to their real size.
Batman and Robin investigate the case and they are also captured and shrunk by Dr. Agar, after they discover Agar's secret hideout. On their small condition, Batman and Robin try to escape Agar's hideout, but they have to overcome great obstacles such as giant desks, giant phones, large cats and more. Eventually, Batman and Robin uncover Agar's plot and realize that they were never shrunk, but in fact, Agar used knockout gas to put them on a giant-sized room, making people believe they were shrunk and extorting money out of them. In the end Agar is captured by Batman and Robin.
