They tell him about some criminals on Mars using similar tactics of escape. J'onn solves both crimes by deducing the crooks are attaching themselves to the underside of boats in the harbor. As detective Jones, J'onn proves his theory correct and captures the Earth criminal.
- An elderly man named Johann Hinkle, desiring to be on Roy Raymond's TV show, "Impossible... But True" creates a magic tablecloth act which acts as a horn of plenty, the bowl & pitcher on the table never going empty even as food & drink are removed from them. Roy realizes how the trick is done but books them on the show anyway in order to surprise Hinkle by revealing that the table cloth itself is the amazing feature, being created with 100,000 stitches to make all the signs of the zodiac. Roy even manages to find a buyer for the tablecloth willing to pay Hinkle $5,000 for it.
- When scientist Wallace Waley is released from prison, he unveils his new anti-Batman inventions to the underworld. He sells the new devices to mobsters which allow their gangs to escape from Batman. To combat the crooks' new tactics Batman develops a new Bat-Signal, a new Batmobile, and other new crime fighting methods. Batman apprehends the various mobs, but Waley himself keeps one anti-Batman device in reserve. He uses a trick in an attempt to expose Batman's secret identity. However, Batman outwits the scientist's plan, then arrests him.
