Robin finds out that the leader of an extortion ring he and Batman are tracking is Tony Zucco, the man who murdered his parents.
In this first half of a two-part story, we learn of Robin's background, of how he lost his parents. They were murdered by some extortionist thug named Tony Zucco. Young Robin, now without parents, was taken in at the Bruce Wayne home. Most of this episode is flashbacks, showing what happened, why, and how young Robin and Batman felt about what happened.
It's well-done. The only present-day action scene is in the beginning, which leads to all the flashbacks. Robin is left out on this case and he's not happy about, especially when he learns that Zucco is there for the taking and Batman wants to handle this case by himself. Revenge-seeking Robin wants none of that and, at the end of his episode, takes off despite warnings to the contrary, to capture Zucco by himself, if necessary.
This is another well-drawn episode, too.
