Terry McGinnis, who is the new Batman of futuristic Gotham, is in Spellbound the tenth episode of Batman Beyond season one. Terry McGinnis is exploring the old mansion of Dana's new boyfriend, which turns out to be owned by none other than the master magician Spellbinder. Terry and Bruce Wayne run into Spellbinder's apprentice, Corey, when they are invited by Dana's boyfriend Bobby Liebowitz. Terry and Bruce try to get away from the mansion but are caught by Corey, who captures Batman and uses his psychological experiments to keep Batman under his control.

The episode starts with Terry McGinnis on a date with his girlfriend, bringing her home after the theater, and then flying around as Batman while Terry's father is giving instructions on how to use the Batsuit. Later on, Terry goes to meet Dana, and they decide to go to Bobby's place to check out his new house. When Terry and Dana reach the estate, they find the place surrounded by high walls and guarded by mutated dogs. Donna's new boyfriend comes out to greet them and then takes them around the mansion to show them his exotic pets, the bat and the monkey.

The three of them then go into Spellbinder's secret workshop, where Spellbinder's apprentice is preparing to test a new mind control machine. Spellbinder, the owner, then suddenly appears and invites them all to dinner. Terry is suspicious, and when he sees the paintings on the wall are hypnotic devices, he signals Bruce Wayne through his Batsuit. But Bruce is too late, and Corey captures them with a device that causes hallucinations.

Corey then uses the device to put Terry under mind control, and he becomes his puppet, while Dana and Bobby are stuck in a seemingly endless loop around the mansion. Bruce and Terry's AI help each other out and create a device that allows them to resist Corey's control and escape his grasp. They get Dana and Bobby and try to escape the mansion while being chased by mutated dogs.
