Synopsis for Batman: "The Cavalier of Crime"

The Cavalier sets in motion an elaborate scheme to gain possession of a collection of sports miniatures, a set of relatively valueless trophy cups owned by baseball pitcher Barry Berrigan. The Cavalier and his henchmen have just opened the safe when they are surprised by Batman and Robin. The henchmen are soon apprehended, but the Cavalier makes good his escape - albeit without the loot - by pinning Batman's cape to the wall with his plumed dart and riding to safety on his motorcycle.
