Synopsis

THE RACE OF THE CENTURY Batman and Robin assist the Canadian Mounted Police to capture a criminal known as the "Highwayman", but upon capture they are unable to find enough evidence to send the man to prison. However, Robin rescues the horse from the criminal and he is allowed to keep it. When Batman and Robin return to Gotham City, they realize that the horse is mild with everyone except with Robin, but the Boy Wonder is determined to win a race with his new horse, which he has called Rocket. After some days of training, the horse is ready, but the Highwayman tries to kill the animal. Batman and Robin stop him and discover that the horse has the evidence to send the criminal to prison. Later, Robin also learns that the Highwayman used to mistreat the horse and because his mask was similar to Robin's, the kid deduced that the horse acts wild at the sight of his mask. Robin takes off his mask and covers his face with mud in order to win the horse race without problems. MAN WHO COULD SEE TOMORROW POUNDS OF PERIL! THE PROMISE OF POW-WOW SMITH
