Synopsis for Batman: "The Weather Wizard's Triple Treasure Thefts!"
The Weather Wizard has arrived in Gotham City to steal three of the cities greatest treasures. First, he states that he has already done so which prompts the wealthy to appraise their valuables. Ironically, their actions actually make the Weather Wizard's job easier, seeing as he is disguised as an appraiser.
This causes Batman to get on the Wizard's case, although he has to run solo while Robin's wrists (injured during a school basketball game) heal. However, when Batman is trapped in a frozen block of ice, Robin tracks the Weather Wizard while the Caped Crusader busts free and helps Batman capture the weather criminal.
