Synopsis for "Batman's Super-Enemy"

A crook finds a spaceship from the planet Skar loaded with alien devices, and plans to use them all against Batman and Robin. The Dynamic Duo are no match for the alien technology and they are defeated on several occasions. However, when the crook has used all the devices, Batman and Robin learn how they work and he use this knowledge against the criminal, who is eventually captured. Before capture the criminal intends to use the alien device capable of great destruction against Batman and Robin, but it is discovered that the great destruction it is capable of is to destroy the other gadgets. Batman explains that the alien benefactors must have sent that device to destroy the gifted technology in case it fell into the wrong hands.
