Synopsis for Batman and Robin: "The Creatures That Stalked Batman"

A Robot and a creature from another dimension appear in Gotham City intent on tracking down Batman. The Caped Crusader soon learns that the mysterious creatures have arrived to Earth from another dimension seeking a criminal who stole a valuable invention from their home planet while disguised as Batman. However, when the robot realizes that Batman is a crime-fighter, he decides to team-up with him in order to capture the impostor. Batman, Robin and the creatures work together to bring the criminal to the authorities and once the invention is recovered, the robot and creature return to their own dimension.
