Batman et Robin sont invités à une démonstration très secrète animée par le professeur Hugo Strange et son assistant, le Dr Harleen Quinzel, qui pourrait éventuellement changer à jamais le futur de Gotham. En cours de route, Batman s'arrête au pénitencier d'État de Gotham pour rendre visite à Catwoman (dont la tentative de suicide du premier film a échoué) pour lui remettre un livre de poésie d'Elizabeth Barrett Browning. C'est quelque chose qui la tiendra occupée pendant les 36 prochains mois de sa vie jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit définitivement libérée de prison. Au laboratoire, ils rencontrent le procureur et allié de Bruce Wayne dans la guerre contre le crime Harvey Dent, célèbre pour avoir arrêté un gang de contrefacteurs de pièces tout en conservant un quartier à deux faces en souvenir de l'affaire.

When his rich grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens (James Garner), died, Jason (Drew Fuller) thought he probably wasn't going to inherit a piece of the old man's multi-billion-dollar estate. He strongly resents his grandfather because his father had died while working for him. There was an inheritance, in fact, but it came with a condition: Jason must complete 12 separate assignments within a year in order to get it. Each assignment is centered around a "gift". Gifts of work, money, friends and learning are among the dozen that Jason must perform before he is eligible for the mysterious "Ultimate Gift" his grandfather's will has for him. Throughout his trials and tribulations, the family attorney, Mr. Hamilton (Bill Cobbs), and his secretary Miss Hastings (Lee Meriwether) attempt to guide Jason along the path his grandfather wishes him to travel. But this is a hard task for the guides, because Jason is a spoiled under-achiever who never had to genuinely work.

Adam West and Burt Ward go in search of the Batmobile after it is stolen, and along the way find themselves forced to consult their memories to decipher clues left by the criminals, evidently people they had known from filming the Batman television series. Memories include affairs, one of which led to Burt being chased by a knife-bearing lover, medicine Burt was forced to take so his genitals would not be so visible in his tights, and Adam meeting the actress who played Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) and accidentally placing a hand on her breast during filming. As it turns out, the villains who stole the Batmobile were the actors who once played the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) and Catwoman (Julie Newmar).
