Directed by Norman Foster

Jervis Tetsch, aka the Mad Hatter, is abducting all the jurors who convicted him of a previous crime wave. He is also taking their hats. His final target is none other than Batman, who provided the key testimony in the Mad Hatter's trial. Batman and Robin have the Mad Hatter and his gang cornered but the criminal mastermind manages to encase the Caped Crusader in plaster of Paris.

1. Another glorious morning in Gotham City.

2. The day people are just starting to work and the night people are ready to call it a day.

3. My Super Instant Mesmerizer, it never fails.

4. Okay, boys, carry him out.

5. Hey, just a minute. That's my cap.

6. Take him along too, boys.

7. Look. Look, look. You, what are you doing with my hat?

8. Add him to the list.

9. Right.

10. Three more hats stolen right out from under our noses...

11. not to mention their owners.

12. I would say a pattern is beginning to take shape.

13. - A pattern, sir? - A villainous pattern, indeed.

14. At this rate, no hat in Gotham City will be safe from Jervis Tetsch.

15. You mean the accursed Mad Hatter is back to his fiendish practices?

16. Who else?

17. It was a sad day indeed when the word "parole" was coined.

18. If memory serves me, commissioner...

19. the Mad Hatter not only is a mortal enemy of Gotham City, but also of...

20. Precisely, Chief O'Hara.

21. The Cowled Crusader himself was a witness at the Mad Hatter's last trial.

22. We have no other choice, we need his help.

23. And now, let's hope to heaven we can reach him.

24. But can they reach him...

25. or are millionaire Bruce Wayne and his youthful ward, Dick Grayson...

26. up to something else this morning in Stately Wayne Manor?

27. I'll summon him, sir.

28. - You sent to Italy for that piece of rock? - Piece of rock?

29. Why, this is Carrara marble, Dick. Famous from antiquity and still being quarried.

30. Gee, Carrara marble.

31. Ah. And it's just possible this bust was sculptured by the famous Carnata himself.

32. - Gosh, Carnato? - One of the great masters.

33. When we have time, I'll acquaint you with the various processes of sculpturing.

34. It's fascinating art to which I devoted many hours of study.

35. I'd sure like to hear about it.

36. Forgive me for interrupting, sir, but it's the Batphone.

37. Hot diggity.

38. I'm in a quandary, Bruce.

39. The Gotham City Gourmet Society tea tasting is this afternoon...

40. and I don't know whether to start with oolong or pekoe.

41. Well, whatever decision you make, Aunt Harriet, I'm sure it'll be the right one.

42. Uh, they just called to report they sighted a black-footed albatross at Slater Slew.

43. And maybe a fork-tailed petrel.

44. A fork-tailed petrel and a black-footed albatross...

45. on the day of the tea tasting?

46. You know how they are about their bird sighting, madam.

47. Yes, commissioner.

48. Jervis Tetsch, the Mad Hatter, is at large again.

49. - Him again. - We'll be right over.

50. To the Batpoles.

51. I couldn't agree more. It's obviously the work of the Mad Hatter.

52. Nobody's safe while that human scourge prowls our streets.

53. It's possible he's planning to unleash a new reign of terror in our fair city.

54. Terrifying defenseless citizens with that Super Instant Mesmerizer in his high hat.

55. Devil of a trademark. Where will he stop?

56. In a court of law, Chief O'Hara, where he's been stopped before.

57. Exactly.

58. But when you testified against him at his last trial...

59. he said he'd get you if it was the last thing he ever did.

60. Few men die of threats, Robin.

61. Commissioner Gordon.

62. Yes. Right away.

63. He struck again. He just stole the fire chief's hat and the fire chief from the convention hall.

64. - Holy helmets. - Will you be needing reinforcements?

65. Thanks, chief. I think the best thing is for you and your men to stand by...

66. - until we catch this tricky devil. - You have our gratitude.

67. Thank you, Commissioner Gordon. Fighting crime deserves no gratitude.

68. It's my fervent hope that warped minds such as his can be rehabilitated once and for all.

69. Clear all exits for the Batmobile.

70. I repeat, clear all exits for the Batmobile.

71. But at the same time, in this old building, which doubles as a warehouse...

72. and the secret hideout for the Mad Hatter and his slippery stooges:

73. There. Two more to go, and the dummies of the conniving jury that convicted me...

74. will at last be properly topped.

75. - How whimsical, Jervis. - Thank you, Lisa.

76. It's a pleasure to share my moments of triumph with you.

77. I'm supposed to be on my coffee break. At least, that's what I told Madam Magda.

78. Madam Magda, little does she know she's to be my next victim.

79. Oh, how merry, Jervis.

80. Before we get to the next victim, why don't we get to the next meal?

81. Getting bonnets for these dummies ain't filling our stomachs, boss.

82. - Or our wallets. - Our wallets will be filled, boys...

83. as soon as I have completed the most fantastic hat snatch of my glorious career.

84. Batman's cowl?

85. - Precisely. - Jervis, that's positively waggish.

86. Waggish maybe, but taking on Batman's a big order, boss.

87. The biggest. Not only will I add his cowl to my unique collection...

88. but I will have exposed our monstrous enemy once and for all...

89. before he meets his gory end.

90. You rogue.

91. Many others have tried killing Batman.

92. Many others do not have the lethal equipment of my hat factory, Dicer.

93. Start the motors.

94. Excellent for shearing rabbit fur. Think what it would do to a man's skin.

95. Jervis, I don't dare.

96. These stretchers form felt in the shape of hat crowns.

97. What form would they shape a man's muscles and marrow?

98. Mush, oatmeal mush.

99. Crown croppers.

100. And this, a felt shredder.

101. Or should I say, "A shredder of the chubby felt"?

102. And this, for shrinking and sizing hat bodies.

103. But why not shrink and size the body of Batman himself?

104. Oh, my heart leaps with joy when I think that one day...

105. my dastardly adversary may end up as a hat brim or crown.

106. Or even a tassel on a tam-o'-shanter.

107. A tam-o'-shanter. Oh, you pixie.

108. Oh.

109. I swore vengeance when he testified against me, and I'll get it. I'll get it.

110. - Of course you will, darling. - Yeah? When do we get our bread?

111. I heard that, Cappy.

112. And why do you think I snatched the owner of each hat the way I did?

113. The jury is still out.

114. What an antique idea.

115. We'll reach a verdict, soon.

116. Two more jurors and I ask the biggest ransom Gotham City's ever heard of.

117. All of this country's presidents' hats currently on loan at the Gastonian Institution.

118. Presidents' hats?

119. Yes. Washington's, Jefferson's, Lincoln's, Grant's. Worth millions.

120. You're a genius, Jervis.

121. And all topped by Batman's cowl.

122. Oh, don't worry, boys. It'll be top hat and tails from now on.

123. It may be tougher that you think...

124. trapping the Batman in his hideout without getting the cops involved.

125. Oh, ha, ha. I've thought of that too, Cappy. That's why I picked another spot.

126. That's where you...

127. and Madam Magda come in, Lisa.

128. And here's where I leave. I can't be late for work, Jervis.

129. After all, I don't want jeopardize my job with the millinery shop.

130. Don't worry, my dear, it'll all be so simple.

131. So very simple.

132. But what of Batman and Robin?

133. Little realizing the enormity of the Mad Hatter's abominable schemes...

134. our Dauntless Duo cross-questions a frightened hat-check girl.

135. - Now, perhaps if you started again, Miss, uh... - Babette.

136. People call me Babette. That's my name.

137. The robbery, the kidnapping.

138. It all happened so quickly.

139. - I was counting my tips... - And when you looked up...

140. - the fire chief's hat was gone? - So was the fire chief. Going anyway.

141. While that funny man flashed that funny thing in his face.

142. The Super Instant Mesmerizer.

143. Well, it super-instanted the fire chief, all right. Then they carried him out.

144. "They"?

145. There were, uh, three of them altogether.

146. Three? Was one wearing a top hat and the others homburgs?

147. You must be clairvoyant or something.

148. And I suppose it only took a second.

149. How did you know? How could you have guessed?

150. We're familiar with the method of operation of this criminal.

151. I'm sorry I wasn't here to prevent his dastardly attack.

152. Well, you're here now, Batman.

153. Batman, your Batphone is buzzing.

154. Thank you, Miss Babette. You've been of great assistance.

155. I wish there was more I could do. Heh.

156. Yes, commissioner.

157. The Mad Hatter's been spotted again, outside Magda's Millinery Maison.

158. 61 Gotham Lane.

159. Roger.

160. Hat shop, 61 Gotham Lane.

161. Maison Magda, hatbox for high society.

162. No, no, no, I don't like it at all.

163. Actually, I like the one you're wearing very much better.

164. Ha, ha. Oh.

165. It is from my personal wardrobe, Mrs. Monteagle, and not for sale.

166. Perhaps Lisa can find something similar.

167. Maybe something with a little veiling, you know?

168. No, no, no.

169. Mrs. Monteagle, veiling is much older women than you.

170. You think so?

171. - Oh, shall we see how that...? - Oh, I like that.

172. Oh, yes, that's the one.

173. Oh, it's beautiful.

174. Help! Oh, no!

175. Could it be they're too late again?

176. The Mad Hatter has heisted his 11th headpiece...

177. and his 11th juror...

178. and made his escape under the very noses of The Dynamic Duo?

179. Oh, Batman, am I glad to see you. I'm Hermione Monteagle.

180. How do you do?

181. There's been a kidnapping and a hat-napping both right in this place right now.

182. Alarming, indeed.

183. And poor Madam Magda, they stole her right under my very eyes.

184. Oh, I don't know what the world's coming to.

185. My, I simply love that cowl.

186. You know, I'm sure the communists had something to do with this.

187. I suspect the culprit can be found closer to home, Mrs. Monteagle.

188. Hermione.

189. Excuse me. The kidnapper dropped this as he was leaving.

190. - Perhaps it may be of some help. - Clues are always helpful.

191. "Octave Marbot, sculptor."

192. This is odd. It requires further thought and study.

193. We must reappraise the situation.

194. - Gosh, Batman. Sure. - I'll report this to the authorities at once.

195. I trust that Madam Magda's abductors will be apprehended before further harm befalls her.

196. Or her hat. Oh, I loved her hat, and that divine cowl.

197. I wonder if it comes in any other color.

198. I know Octave Marbot. I'm sitting for a statue he's making of me.

199. A statue? Holy happenstance.

200. Yes. Warden Crichton requested it to exhibit at Gotham State Prison...

201. to help inspire the convicts in his rehabilitation program.

202. Gosh, Batman, that's a great idea.

203. But why would the Mad Hatter drop this card in Madam Magda's shop?

204. He could be taunting us with a clue.

205. Perhaps the edge-lighted Lucite map of Gotham City will tell us some more.

206. Now, he's been striking all over the city.

207. Madam Magda's Millinery Maison...

208. Le Silver Shop, which is here...

209. Convention Hall...

210. Gotham Sporting Goods over here...

211. the hotel where he stole the chef's hat...

212. And the chef.

213. Exactly, Robin. There is a pattern.

214. And Marbot's Studio...

215. is the topper.

216. Robin, I suggest we pay a call on Monsieur Marbot.

217. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

218. I couldn't have stated it better myself, old chum.

219. Can it be possible Batman has fallen for this ruse?

220. And what about Octave Marbot himself?

221. Is he an innocent sculpture, or a part of this evil scheme?

222. - Better activate the antitheft device, Robin. - Gosh, yes, Batman.

223. Commissioner Gordon says there's been a rash of car thefts lately.

224. Mon ami Batman and the Boy Wonder.

225. To what do I owe the honor of this visit? You have come perhaps for your next sitting?

226. There's no time for posing today, Monsieur Marbot.

227. We're here on a matter of grave urgency.

228. Oui, but of course. What can I do to help you?

229. Do you know a man named Jervis Tetsch, better known as the Mad Hatter?

230. Jervis Tetsch? Jervis Tetsch.

231. No.

232. He's presently victimizing Gotham City.

233. The Mad Hatter?

234. And somehow, he dropped this card when he made his last catch.

235. I do not know where he could have gotten it. I don't know the Mad Hatter.

236. I am Octave Marbot, a simple sculptor.

237. All right, Monsieur Marbot. We didn't mean to alarm you.

238. Well, as long as you are here, perhaps I could persuade you to pose.

239. Uh, I'm having trouble with the tête. The head.

240. Perhaps if I could persuade you to remove your cowl...

241. I could see what's wrong.

242. Remove my cowl?

243. In mon dressing room, of course.

244. Boy Wonder could hand it out to me.

245. All right, Monsieur Marbot.

246. Come on, Robin.

247. It's working better than I dreamed.

248. Batman's in the dressing room with Boy Wonder.

249. My expert mimicry and perfect French fooled them completely.

250. The moment...

251. The moment has finally arrived. Batman's cowl at last.

252. I don't like it, boss. Cowl or no cowl, Batman is still Batman.

253. Never fear, he wouldn't dare follow us and be exposed for all the world to see.

254. We'll take his cowl and be on our way. Conceal yourselves.

255. - I smell a rat. - You smell the Mad Hatter in Marbot's disguise.

256. He gave himself away with that remark about my statue's head.

257. That was the first part he finished and he was very pleased with it.

258. You're not just going to hand him your cowl, are you?

259. Of course not, Robin. I want to find the real Octave Marbot.

260. Holy switcheroo. I should've known.

261. - Someone's moaning. - No doubt our man.

262. It is Octave Marbot. Untie him, Robin.

263. I'm going to put an end to our crafty adversary once and for all.

264. I wonder what could be keeping Boy Wonder.

265. Jervis Tetsch, your days of crime are over.

266. Not till I get your cowl, Batman. My 13th hat.

267. Cappy, Dicer, what are you waiting for?

268. Hold these.

269. I prepared myself with my anti-mesmerizing Bat-reflector.

270. Holy ricochet.

271. Robin. Old chum.

272. - What'd you do that for, boss? - Now you'll never get his cowl.

273. When the plaster hardens and is removed, I'll get a mold of his cowl.

274. Not only that, but Batman will be permanently plastered.

275. Oh, it's a far, far simpler end for the Cowled Crusader...

276. than the flailing knives, mechanical stretchers, cylindrical chambers...

277. acid sprays, and suction fans of my hat factory.

278. Oh, it's a stroke of genius on my part, if I do say so myself.

279. And I'll be killing two birds with one stone. Ha, ha.

280. Two birds with one stone.
