The Huntress comes to Earth-One, seeking advice from Batman, the counterpart of her father on Earth-Two. Shortly afterwards, Batman and Robin go in search of Scar, a maniac responsible for kidnapping people and turning them into grotesqueries, and who has kidnapped Dick's girlfriend, Lori Elton. Batman decides to introduce Huntress to Kathy Kane, as he considers she would provide her with better advice for her crime-fighting career. While on Kathy's amusement park, Batman picks up the trail of Scar and although he manages to find the criminal's lair, Batman is captured by the madman, who prepares a trap that would deform Lori's face. After Scar explains the motives for his crimes, he leaves the chamber, leaving Batman tied-up, so he could witness Lori's deformation. Meanwhile, Robin has found the trace of Scar and goes to the amusement park after dark, where he confronts the criminal and delays his escape, allowing Batman catch up with him, even after freeing himself from the trap and save Lori. Robin goes to Lori as Dick to help her after the event and Batman corners Scar in the house of mirrors, where the criminal is forced to face his own traumas.
