When they learn that Kendrick is going to be alone at home, they plan to attack him and knowing the dangers he might face, Batman decides to go to the place as well. When Batman arrives, he finds one of the gangs inside the house and he gets rid of them, but it is too late since they have injured Kendrick and he is dying. However, before passing away, he gives Batman the information about his black book's location. Batman also notices that there is another man in the room seriously injured and he takes the man to Linda Page's home, where she heals the man, but he is left with amnesia and can't remember what happened at Kendrick's home. Batman tells Robin to pick them all up in the Batmobile and they all go to the location where Kendrick told Batman the book was hidden. Making their way past a couple of traps set by the gangsters, they finally arrive at Kendrick's secret manor, and after a quick inspection they find the book. However, the gangsters arrive soon and a battle between them and the dynamic duo ensues. After a long struggle, Batman and Robin manage to overcome the criminals and the man with amnesia recovers his memory after a hit in the head. He tells Batman that he killed Kendricks and he is also captured along with the rest of the criminals. Batman, Robin, and Linda get going after the police arrive and they reflect on the fact that they had the killer with them all along.
