Synopsis:

With the help of Shotgun Smith, Robin tries to track down the pirate gang and discover where they are holding Batman. The homing device in his utility belt leads them to the pirate crew's base, where they discover an electronic parrot which has recorded everything the gang said in its presence. Using this, they are able to confront the pirate gang, who are all captured. Their leader, however, escapes and no-one - not even his crew - knows who he is. Meanwhile, strapped to a buoy, Batman is able to escape his death-trap, by using the abrasive skin of sharks, attracted by his blood, to loosen his bonds.
