We begin with "Blind Rage of the Ten-Eyed Man" by Frank Robbins Irv Novick, and Dick Giordano. Seeking his revenge upon Batman, the Ten-Eyed Man takes a job as an air marshal. He then hijacks a plane and takes it to Vietnam. He issues demands to have Batman meet him there. The Caped Crusader complies and arrives in Vietnam.
The Ten-Eyed Man releases the hostages, then retreats into the jungle. He is familiar with the jungle from his days in the special forces which give him an advantage over Batman. Batman dodges traps set by his foe and despite the terrain favoring Reardon, Batman prevails. He captures the Ten-Eyed Man and brings him home in custody.

The back-up strip this issue is Robin in "Wiped Out" by Mike Friedrich, Irv Novick, and Dick Giordano. Dick Grayson considers that his role as Robin has not been received well on the campus of Hudson University. His thoughts are interrupted by the arrival of Terri Bergstrom. The couple head to Terri's room which has been ransacked. When they return to Dick's room, they find it has also been broken into.
Dick leaves Terri and investigates the crimes as Robin. He finds the thieves who are connected to Mark Brunner. Robin tracks down Brunner who along with two others had previously assaulted him. Robin stops Brunner and puts an end to the robbery ring before resuming his date with Terri. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Robin the Boy Wonder Vol. 1 TPB (2008).
