There is a new criminal in Gotham City operating under the alias of the Dagger and the police have no clue of how to capture the gangster. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne's fighting prowess is discovered when he saves a lady from being robbed by a former boxing champion and he is soon dragged into the boxing business. Bruce decides to play along, since the revenue from his fight is destined for charity, but when the fight ends he is approached by a man called Ned Brann, who wants to make Bruce part of his gambling racket. Bruce agrees in order to learn more about this criminal ring and after a while, he discovers that Brann is in fact the Dagger!
