| Synopsis
| - Reprinted from Gang Busters #54.
- Reprinted from World's Finest Comics #59.
- Batman investigates the mystery of truckers who lose their rigs after seeing the highway before them burst into phantom flames.
- One day while working at the Gotham Library, Barbara is visited by Gregg Wilson, a former con-man who she turned in as Batgirl, but sponsored in prison in her civilian guise . Telling her that he's gone straight he gives her a ring that he made in prison as thanks. He asks her to help him get a straight job, and she offers to take him him for dinner to try and get work with her father. Noticing that he has an appreciation for Edgar Alan Poe, Barbara then takes Gregg downstairs to see a rare and original manuscript of Poe's work that is locked away in a protected vault with a special key card. After leaving Barbara, we find that Gregg hasn't really gone straight and with a secret camera had taken pictures of the key card.
That night having supper at the Gordons, Gregg is offered a job as a helper for Commissioner Gordons campeign to get into Congress, a position that Gordon is reluctant to accept.
Later working at the campaign office, Gregg rushes out to get everyone coffee, and Barbara soon finds a fake key card in his belongings. Realized that she has been conned once again by Gregg, she chases after him as Batgirl and quickly stops him and some other thugs from stealing the rare Poe work.
Upset that the system didn't help rehabilitate Gregg, Batgirl returns home still in costume and reveals her true identity to her father, asking him to let her run for the position in Congress. This story is continued next issue....
