Holy High-Notes! Loreli Circe, otherwise known as the Siren, hatches a plan to discover Batman’s true identity. She breaks into Police Headquarters, uses her vocal powers to place Commissioner Gordon under her spell, and then orders him to stow away inside the Batmobile's trunk. The plan goes ahead and Batman and Robin return to their lair, unaware of the stowaway inside their vehicle. Once the Dynamic Duo has left, Alfred begins his chores of dusting the Batcave, but Gordon emerges from the Batmobile and immediately recognises him as Bruce Wayne's faithful butler; the hypnotised Commissioner then watches from a hidden vantage point and learns the secrets of the two crime fighters, but before he can telephone the Siren with the information, Alfred knocks him out with Batsleep gas. Suspecting that the Siren is behind the disappearance of her father, Batgirl tracks the sinister singer to her hideout. Meanwhile, the Siren calls Bruce Wayne on the phone and uses a hypnotic high-note to bring him under her power; she then instructs him to meet her at the Wayne Foundation Building, and makes him sign over everything he owns to her, including the Wayne Family Jewels…
