Plot Overview
Molly, the Riddler's moll, is wearing a Robin disguise. When Batman went in pursuit of the Riddler, Molly pretends to fall from the escaping vehicle and lays on the road. She pretends as Robin that she can't speak so that Batman won't get suspicious. Batman picks up Molly/Robin and takes her back to the Batcave in his Batmobile. Once inside, Molly reveals herself. This does not surprise Batman as he knew it was Molly all along. He wanted to bring her to the Batcave so that Batman could interrogate her into revealing where the real Robin is being held. Molly attempts to escape from Batman, but manages to fall to her death inside one of Batman's 'Danger, Keep Out' places. With Molly dead, Batman goes in pursuit of the Riddler using the Riddler's own riddles. He finds the Riddler's hideout, surprises the Riddler, and rescues Robin. The Riddler unfortunately escapes. In a later scene, the Dynamic Duo figures out another Riddler clue and prevents him from carrying out another crime. Again the Riddler escapes. With the Riddler's disappearance, the lawsuit which he brought against Batman also disappears. Batman and Robin's secret identities are safe.
