"The Olympic Games of Crime!"[]
To be added Lew Farnum, escaped convict, sneaks out of prison in a supply truck and makes his way to the home of a former doctor for The Mob who has gone straight. Farnum blackmails him into participating in a scheme to con wanted criminals into handing over their hidden loot, knowing they can't complain they were robbed.
The confidence game involves a "new process" in which fingerprints can be changed, a supposed scientific impossibility. Farnum trains an accomplice to be an expert mimic of his voice and habits---and when Batman arrests "the wrong man"in public, it makes the newspapers and convinces the criminals that the method exists. But the criminals have to pull brand new jobs in order to pay Farnum's exorbitant prices.
One criminal,Pepper Nolan,is critically injured during his crime attempt. Batman disguises himself as Nolan and gains entry to the main hideout. The criminals are told to go into the next room where an impressive looking apparatus awaits.But it is actually a fatal "electric chair". The Doctor is hesitant, but knows the criminals wouldn't hesitate to kill THEM if the hoax were revealed.
Batman removes his disguise and exposes the hoax as backup police pour in. The Doctor's legal fate is unknown, but he is grateful that Batman saved him from cold-blooded murder,
NOTE: The television series THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN(with George Reeves) used a similar plot in its second season.
