Batman and Robin meet a new foe, the Calendar Man, who promises to frame crimes around the motif of the five seasons of the year. It is up to the Dynamid Duo to deduce the cryptic meaning of this threat while also trying to stop the crimes of the Calendar Man. For his crimes, the Calendar Man dresses in bizarre costumes that representing the season his crimes are meant to emulate. For spring, his costume resembles a flower; for summer, this costume can project heat energy; for autumn he uses a giant wind-machine while dressed in a "leaf" costume and finally for winter, his costume is a snowman. After four failed attempts to capture the villain, Batman finally deduces that Calendar Man's 5th season is that of the Monsoon Season in India. With that, Batman realizes that Calendar Man is posing as a Marajah the Magician and soon captures him.
