Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder
Batman [Bruce Wayne; also as Walter "Slug" Braden]; Robin [Dick Grayson]; Glen Powers; Prison Warden Downs; Steve (prison guard); Dr. Fleming (prison doctor); Deadshot [Floyd Lawton] (villain, cameo); "The Black Diamond" (villain, cameo); John "Squint" Tolmar (villain); Pete Dugan (villain, prison barber); "Big George" Howlett (villain, death); Jergens (villain); "Machine Gun" Porter (villain); unnamed prison guards
After Batman saves the life of an innocent condemned man on death row, the prison warden asks him to stick around as "acting Warden" until a new one is appointed. But he is puzzled as to why a prisoner that is scheduled to be released the next day attempts to break out the evening before. Batman figures that it may be connected to $250,000 missing since a robbery years before since the con occupies the same cell as the executed criminal responsible for the robbery.
