While en route to a Wayne Foundation board meeting, Bruce Wayne is abducted by Killer Moth and Chancer. A simultaneous abduction of Mayor Krol and Commissioner Gordon transpires at the Gotham City Hall at the hands of Cat-Man and Calendar Man. The GCPD is informed of Killer Moth's demand of ten million dollars within a five hour time frame. Following an unsuccessful attempt to escape, Wayne, Krol, and Gordon are locked within a metal crate. Meanwhile, Robin has identified Nimrod the Hunter as Dean Harder, a Texas man wanted for the murder of his girlfriend, Janine Taylor, and a security guard. Robin arrives atop the roof of the GCPD moments after Nimrod has approached Sgt. Essen with an offer to help locate Chancer and the gang. He makes the same offer to a dubious Robin after claiming that it was Chancer who was responsible for the murders for which he's been blamed. Essen has arranged for Killer Moth's demands to be met, but the criminal has no intention of letting his hostages live. He drops their crate into the ocean and leaves them to their fate.

While en route to a Wayne Foundation board meeting, Bruce Wayne is abducted by Killer Moth and Chancer. A simultaneous abduction of Mayor Krol and Commissioner Gordon transpires at the Gotham City Hall at the hands of Cat-Man and Calendar Man. The GCPD is informed of Killer Moth's demand of ten million dollars within a five hour time frame. Following an unsuccessful attempt to escape, Wayne, Krol, and Gordon are locked within a metal crate.
Meanwhile, Robin has identified Nimrod the Hunter as Dean Harder, a Texas man wanted for the murder of his girlfriend, Janine Taylor, and a security guard. Robin arrives atop the roof of the GCPD moments after Nimrod has approached Sgt. Essen with an offer to help locate Chancer and the gang. He makes the same offer to a dubious Robin after claiming that it was Chancer who was responsible for the murders for which he's been blamed.
Essen has arranged for Killer Moth's demands to be met, but the criminal has no intention of letting his hostages live. He drops their crate into the ocean and leaves them to their fate.
Bruce Wayne's acknowledgement that Killer Moth once discovered his secret identity is a reference to events which transpired in Detective Comics Vol 1 173. This issue is reprinted in Batman: Shadow of the Bat Vol. 1 (Collected).
