I suppose one can forgive a copout. Batman had only been around for little over a year at this point, but the 'it was all a dream' was getting a little old even by 1940.
Basically Robin is reading a book on dwarves and giants. He starts to nod off when Batman arrives and whisks him off to a mad scientist who sends the two of them into the fourth dimension. Captured by a giant, they end up in a massive war between the giants and the dwarves. It looks like curtains for the caped crusaders when Robin wakes up.
Not the best yarn, but I suppose that can be forgiven given the time period.
