Synopsis

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO LIVE When a man named Jasper Sneed learns that he has been poisoned and that he has only 24 hours to live, he decides to take all his money and prepares deadly traps for his entire family. Sneed's niece, Lucille is a friend of Linda Page and she talks to her about his uncle's problem. Bruce Wayne, who was listening to the conversation, decides to investigate the case as Batman, and with Robin's help, almost all of the remaining murder attempts are foiled. By the end of the day, Jasper goes home, where Batman and Robin are waiting for him and they watch the man going to the butler's room where he tries to kill him as well, because the butler was responsible for poisoning him in the first place. Batman stops Jasper, and the time of his death arrives. The butler stops pretending and reveals himself as Richard Sneed, Jasper's twin brother. Richard was holding a grudge against his brother and decided to get revenge on him. When Batman tries to take the man to the authorities, he reveals that he also took some of the poison and soon he is dead as well.
