The Batman tracks down the unusual safe that holds the loot taken years before by the Slasher's mob. With the Slasher supposedly dead, the villain has left behind a note leading the Caped Crusaders to that safe: a safe having 7 switches, only one of which opens the safe; the rest are connected to a bomb!
