A series of tech robberies in Gotham turn out to be committed by the animals Dick Grayson formerly worked with during his years at Haley's Circus. This puts Dick's childhood friend from his circus days, Miranda Kane, who now works as the lead animal tamer at Haley's, as prime suspect, but Nightwing is convinced of her innocence despite Batman's insistence to the contrary.
