During an interrogation a kidnapped boy by the name of Ashok Ramanan is mentioned, Batman decides the boys is now who they are looking for. Ashok, a very popular Indian movie star, had disappeared the day before from the set of his latest movie, which is in Madras, India. At the set, Bruce and Cassandra, in disguise as reporters, meet the director of the movie. After a conversation with the assistant that leads to nowhere at all, the assistant asks them to join her while she views the film they had shot. While they are watching the film, Cassandra is shocked by the realistic monster on the screen. After four viewings, Bruce asks the assistant about the special effects, and they find that they are done by a woman named Aruna Shende. Later, Bruce and Cassandra go to Aruna’s apartment. When they meet her, she jumps out the window and attempts to run away. As the chase continues, Batman and Batgirl ask an old man if he saw Aruna. When he answers that he didn’t, Batman starts to leave. But, Batgirl was not fooled, and knew the old man was Aruna. Batman concludes that Aruna is a shapeshifter, and the old man changes into Aruna.
