1. Gotham City, Woodrow
Roosevelt High School.
Copy !req
2. Three-oh-nine p.m.
Copy !req
3. Normal healthy activity
in the school gymnasium.
Copy !req
4. - You got it memorized?
- Think so.
Copy !req
5. Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
6. And zing-boom-sis-boom-bah
Copy !req
7. We're from Woodrow
Roosevelt That's who we are
Copy !req
8. Does anybody scare
us? The answer is nix
Copy !req
9. Come on, team Let's make it six
Copy !req
10. - That was great. Great.
- Okay.
Copy !req
11. Gosh, Susie, terrific.
Copy !req
12. - Did you write it yourself?
- Oh, heck, no.
Copy !req
13. Ms. Browning, our
poetry professor.
Copy !req
14. - Let's take a break, gang. Anyone for a drink?
- Me.
Copy !req
15. Holy cow. Look, silver dollars.
Copy !req
16. Let me try.
Copy !req
17. Hey, kids, everyone. Come
on. It's Christmas. Look, heh.
Copy !req
18. Silver dollars.
Copy !req
19. A strange, disturbing bonanza
from a gimmick milk machine.
Copy !req
20. Either of you men
fear what I fear?
Copy !req
21. - The Joker?
- Exactly, Chief O'Hara, the Joker.
Copy !req
22. That most pestilent of predators,
the Clown Prince of Crime.
Copy !req
23. This smells like an
opening gambit of his.
Copy !req
24. That devil.
Copy !req
25. - But how can we be sure?
- We can't. Not yet.
Copy !req
26. But if it's the Joker
we're facing...
Copy !req
27. and his plot is aimed at Gotham
City youth, we can't wait to be sure.
Copy !req
28. This, if there ever was one, is a case
for our unknown friend behind the mask.
Copy !req
29. And in Wayne Manor...
Copy !req
30. stately residence of millionaire
socialite Bruce Wayne...
Copy !req
31. and his young ward, Dick Grayson,
whom we just saw at school:
Copy !req
32. Please, Bruce, I beg you. Accept
the proposal. Run for mayor.
Copy !req
33. It's funny. They come to you with
the same offer every two years.
Copy !req
34. You'd think they'd get it through
their heads you're not interested.
Copy !req
35. I'm afraid she's
right, Mr. Vandergilt.
Copy !req
36. You see, the good works
of my Wayne Foundation...
Copy !req
37. require that I stay above
the brawl of politics.
Copy !req
38. But Gotham City needs you.
Copy !req
39. Think of our problems.
Copy !req
40. The snarl of traffic, a water shortage,
and now these recurrent power failures.
Copy !req
41. How can you turn us down?
Copy !req
42. What is it, Alfred?
Copy !req
43. Nothing of importance, madam.
Copy !req
44. - It's the Batphone, sir.
- Thank you, Alfred, for reminding me.
Copy !req
45. I'll tell you what,
Mr. Vandergilt.
Copy !req
46. I'll ponder it and give
you my answer tomorrow.
Copy !req
47. Aunt Harriet, give Mr. Vandergilt
some more tea, will you?
Copy !req
48. He'll ponder it? That's strange.
What's he got to ponder?
Copy !req
49. - Yes, commissioner.
- Prepare yourself for a blow.
Copy !req
50. Someone has struck at
Woodrow Roosevelt High.
Copy !req
51. We think it's the Joker.
Copy !req
52. Good grief. I'm on my way.
Copy !req
53. Dick's in the thick of this already. If he
phones in, tell him to stay where he is.
Copy !req
54. - Very good, sir.
- The switch, Alfred.
Copy !req
55. Good luck, sir.
Copy !req
56. Looks sinister, doesn't it?
Copy !req
57. "Joker released from
jail one week ago...
Copy !req
58. immediately buys control of
One-Armed Bandit Novelty Company."
Copy !req
59. Makers of coin-operated gadgets.
Copy !req
60. Gum machines, pin balls,
that sort of harmless junk.
Copy !req
61. There's nothing harmless
about the Joker. We all know that.
Copy !req
62. Or about a machine which
returns 20 silver dollars for a dime.
Copy !req
63. What about the men who
install the machine and service it?
Copy !req
64. Clean as driven snow, Batman. And
they're even more surprised than we are.
Copy !req
65. It's open-and-shut. Somebody got to that
poor innocent machine and gimmicked it.
Copy !req
66. But why? In the
devil's name, why?
Copy !req
67. I can make a guess.
Copy !req
68. Yes?
Copy !req
69. Oh, thank you, Bonnie. Put
him on the conference phone.
Copy !req
70. It's Principal Schoolfield,
Woodrow Roosevelt High.
Copy !req
71. - Commissioner Gordon?
- Speaking.
Copy !req
72. Another machine has
gone mad, in the library.
Copy !req
73. Instead of candy bars, it's dispensing
negotiable stocks and bonds.
Copy !req
74. To put it mildly, student
morale is cracking up.
Copy !req
75. Schoolfield. This is Batman
here. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
76. Ah, yes. Hello, Batman.
Copy !req
77. Who's the president
of your student council?
Copy !req
78. A boy named Grayson,
a Richard Grayson.
Copy !req
79. - A fine lad.
- I'm glad to hear it.
Copy !req
80. Have him call a meeting in
your office. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
81. I'll have him waiting
for you. Goodbye.
Copy !req
82. - I think my guess was right.
- What, Batman?
Copy !req
83. No time to lose.
Copy !req
84. Chief O'Hara, get me a
visual ID file on the Joker.
Copy !req
85. - Meet me at the Batmobile.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
86. I mean, like look, Dickie.
So everyone's goofing off.
Copy !req
87. - So why shouldn't they?
- It's quite true.
Copy !req
88. The purpose of our studies is to
equip us to make our way in life.
Copy !req
89. If, on the other hand, one has
merely to insert a dime in a machine...
Copy !req
90. He's right. Why go
through all that study?
Copy !req
91. For crying out loud. I'm
surprised at you guys.
Copy !req
92. We're meant to
be student leaders.
Copy !req
93. Susie, what do you say?
Copy !req
94. I say, has anyone tried
Mr. Schoolfield's coffee machine?
Copy !req
95. Hey, not bad for old
Schoolfield. Quarters. Look.
Copy !req
96. - Hey, not bad, eh?
- How about that?
Copy !req
97. Wise up, you guys.
Life isn't this easy.
Copy !req
98. That's easy for you to say. You're
the ward of that rich millionaire.
Copy !req
99. - That has nothing to do with it.
- Hey, gang, cut it out. Here comes Batman.
Copy !req
100. - Robin. He's here.
- It's Batman.
Copy !req
101. Sorry, kids. Stay back.
Copy !req
102. Sorry, Robin isn't with me.
Copy !req
103. This Batmobile is filled with
delicate anti-crime equipment.
Copy !req
104. You might set off the
automatic antitheft system.
Copy !req
105. Nobody closer
than 50 feet, please.
Copy !req
106. Hey, Batman, where's Robin?
Copy !req
107. - Attending school just as you are.
- What school?
Copy !req
108. I can't tell you that. It might
reveal his secret true identity.
Copy !req
109. And listen, if anyone hears a
sharp beep, let me know at once.
Copy !req
110. It'll be the Batphone ringing
with an important message.
Copy !req
111. And even as Batman
races into the school...
Copy !req
112. across town in a
fashionable little bistro:
Copy !req
113. The joke's on you, my cheery
boozehounds. It's a stickup.
Copy !req
114. Hands up. You're covered.
Copy !req
115. Thanks, folks. The
party will now resume.
Copy !req
116. Believe me, this may
look like a party, but it's not.
Copy !req
117. There's a crook
behind these handouts.
Copy !req
118. - What's his angle?
- He may have several.
Copy !req
119. One is to lure you into a
deceptive pattern of easy living.
Copy !req
120. You'll quit your studies,
become dropouts.
Copy !req
121. You'll have no other recourse
but to join criminal groups.
Copy !req
122. Batman's right. It's
sort of recruiting drive.
Copy !req
123. Sure, he's right.
What'd I tell you?
Copy !req
124. - Can you corroborate this odd hypothesis?
- Yeah, Batman. Like, what's the crook's name?
Copy !req
125. I can do better than that. I
can show you his picture.
Copy !req
126. - What's your name, son?
- Richard Grayson, sir.
Copy !req
127. Thank you, Richard. You darken
the room. I'll man the projector.
Copy !req
128. Roger.
Copy !req
129. Here it is,
everybody. The Joker.
Copy !req
130. Don't be deceived
by that grin, anyone.
Copy !req
131. He's one of the most malevolent
malefactors we've ever met.
Copy !req
132. - I'll bet he's a master of makeup too.
- You're right, he is.
Copy !req
133. He might be skulking around here
in any one of 50 outrageous outfits.
Copy !req
134. For example, here's another one.
Copy !req
135. Get a little closer, kids.
Copy !req
136. I want you to see that phony
flower in his button hole.
Copy !req
137. Sometimes, it shoots out
water, sometimes powder...
Copy !req
138. other times knockout gas.
Copy !req
139. - Hey.
- Holy magician.
Copy !req
140. Hello, kiddies. Meet the Joker.
Copy !req
141. No hard feelings.
Copy !req
142. - Corny, aren't I?
- Joker, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
143. Oh, just passing by.
I heard my name...
Copy !req
144. and I couldn't resist shooting a jolly jet
through the tiny perforation in that screen.
Copy !req
145. Just passing by,
huh? To do what?
Copy !req
146. Gimmick another
innocent vending machine?
Copy !req
147. Oh, there must be bats
in your belfry, Batman.
Copy !req
148. Has anyone found
fingerprints or other evidence?
Copy !req
149. You're too smart
for that, Joker.
Copy !req
150. Hey, Batman, nab him anyway.
Copy !req
151. Loitering on school property.
Copy !req
152. Right. Five-thousand dollars
fine and five years' imprisonment.
Copy !req
153. Ha, ha. No. Wrong, kiddies.
Copy !req
154. Look up the statute. In Gotham
City, the crime of loitering...
Copy !req
155. requires the loiterer to remain in
the same spot for over two minutes.
Copy !req
156. You... You jailhouse lawyer.
Copy !req
157. The tricky trickster,
he's outwitting us.
Copy !req
158. Ooh, dear me. The court
jester must run, jest in time.
Copy !req
159. Well, goodbye, kiddies. And
remember, I was here, eh?
Copy !req
160. What an odd parting remark.
Copy !req
161. Yeah. Why'd he want us
to remember he was here?
Copy !req
162. From the lips of a crook,
it can mean only one thing.
Copy !req
163. - Establishing an alibi.
- Right.
Copy !req
164. Gee whiz. Alibi for what?
Copy !req
165. The Batphone signal. Batman!
Copy !req
166. Hey, Batman, it's your Batphone.
Copy !req
167. The Batphone, Batman.
Copy !req
168. - What now, commissioner?
- Another strike.
Copy !req
169. A cocktail lounge. A gimmick
jukebox. It must be the Joker.
Copy !req
170. We'll never make it
stick. He has an alibi.
Copy !req
171. - Maybe we can break it.
- Impossible. The alibi is me.
Copy !req
172. What? You?
Copy !req
173. Forget it. Give me the address.
I'll race to the scene of the crime.
Copy !req
174. Right. Goodbye.
Copy !req
175. Batman, sir.
Copy !req
176. You forgot your box of slides.
Copy !req
177. Good lad. Bring it over.
Copy !req
178. Fake a headache. Speed
home. Wait for me in the Batcave.
Copy !req
179. You're welcome, sir.
Copy !req
180. Boys and girls, go back to your studies.
Believe me, nothing in life is free.
Copy !req
181. Scarcely 500 yards away, behind
this innocent-seeming candy store...
Copy !req
182. an abandoned garage, now
headquarters of the Joker...
Copy !req
183. and his current gang the Bad Pennies,
high-school dropouts most of them.
Copy !req
184. - It's a pretty good haul, isn't it?
- Peanuts, my boy. Mere peanuts.
Copy !req
185. That bar job was just a pot-boiling
appetizer for the real feast.
Copy !req
186. Ho, ho! What an
inspired stroke of mine...
Copy !req
187. buying up the One-Armed
Bandit Novelty Company. Ah.
Copy !req
188. Plunder by remote control.
Copy !req
189. Hey, Joker. I think I got this one
rigged. Come and have a look.
Copy !req
190. - Put it all away.
- Right.
Copy !req
191. Set to go off on
the third strike?
Copy !req
192. Yeah, and I got two
strikes rung up already.
Copy !req
193. Ho, ho! Here we go.
Copy !req
194. Sensational. It's a gas.
Copy !req
195. It won't be colored smoke in a
bar, it'll be your knockout stuff.
Copy !req
196. - You've done it again, Two Bits.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
197. A timely reminder.
Crime can be shocking.
Copy !req
198. Someone's trying the
bubble-gum machine.
Copy !req
199. Hi, gang.
Copy !req
200. Ah, sweet Sue, shiniest
of my Bad Pennies.
Copy !req
201. Boy, Joker, you sure are some card,
popping out at school like that at Batman.
Copy !req
202. Wondrously whimsical, wasn't it?
Copy !req
203. It was real crazy,
if you asked me.
Copy !req
204. I might have fainted and
given the whole game away.
Copy !req
205. However, you didn't.
Copy !req
206. - Ah! I see you have the stuff.
- Of course.
Copy !req
207. - Any trouble getting it?
- Heck, no.
Copy !req
208. Like I told you, being chief cheerleader
puts me on the student council.
Copy !req
209. Once you're on that, you
can get away with anything.
Copy !req
210. Ho, ho! Let's see.
Copy !req
211. Hands off. Not until I get paid.
Copy !req
212. Trusting little
wench, aren't you?
Copy !req
213. I'm a crook,
Joker, just like you.
Copy !req
214. Now, where's the payoff?
Copy !req
215. - Hi there, lamb chop. You busy tonight?
- You lowlife, get away from me.
Copy !req
216. - Now, look here, baby. I have plans...
- Are you stupid or something?
Copy !req
217. The reason I've taken up crime is so I can
get a taste of the finer things in life.
Copy !req
218. - Yeah...
- Now, beat it.
Copy !req
219. Ha, ha. Shut your
eyes, sweet Susie.
Copy !req
220. Oh, yeah? And get an exploding
cigar in my ear? No thanks.
Copy !req
221. You mischievous bobette.
Shut your eyes, I said.
Copy !req
222. A rhinestone bracelet...
Copy !req
223. a fox-fur stole...
Copy !req
224. and one full quart of
imported Mexican perfume.
Copy !req
225. Oh. Oh, gee, Joker.
Copy !req
226. I'm sorry I sassed you.
Copy !req
227. Why, this is like
some lovely dream.
Copy !req
228. Ah, perfect. Stolen right
from Schoolfield's safe...
Copy !req
229. the keycard to my
malevolent machinations.
Copy !req
230. - Well, what is it, Joker?
- Look, you boobs. Look and laugh.
Copy !req
231. Examination papers.
Copy !req
232. X plus Y times X plus Y.
Copy !req
233. Holy alphabet. What is it?
Copy !req
234. - If you'll excuse me, Master Robin.
- Yes, Alfred?
Copy !req
235. The solution is, uh, X squared
plus 2XY plus Y squared.
Copy !req
236. Gee, sure. Why
didn't I know that?
Copy !req
237. And with nationwide pre-college
exams coming up in just three days.
Copy !req
238. Good to have you home, sir.
Copy !req
239. - What'd you find out, Batman?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
240. Holy vacuum. Not a single clue?
Copy !req
241. We don't need clues, Robin.
We know our man is the Joker.
Copy !req
242. What we need is evidence.
Copy !req
243. I went over that looted
lounge with a fine-tooth comb.
Copy !req
244. I didn't even find a
single hair to analyze.
Copy !req
245. Gosh, and school
morale in a tailspin.
Copy !req
246. A month from now there'll
be dropouts by the bushel.
Copy !req
247. - If he waits that long.
- Huh?
Copy !req
248. I didn't want to cause panic
at that student meeting...
Copy !req
249. but I think the Joker has some
other dirty plan afoot as well.
Copy !req
250. - Like what?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
251. But I think it involves gimmicked
machines and Woodrow Roosevelt High.
Copy !req
252. Gee, if we just knew
how he gets in to fix them.
Copy !req
253. You've guessed it,
Robin. Our next move.
Copy !req
254. - Stake out the school.
- Right again. Let's go.
Copy !req
255. Hello, hello? Give me the sign.
Copy !req
256. How do you stop a
dog from barking in July?
Copy !req
257. Shoot him in
June. Very good. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
258. Joker, listen. Batman and Robin
just drove into the parking lot.
Copy !req
259. What? The Dynamic
Duo at the school?
Copy !req
260. That's right, Joker. What'll
I do? Take it on the lam?
Copy !req
261. No, no, no, listen.
Oh, ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
262. Thank heavens for my
delicious sense of humor.
Copy !req
263. You have your
crooked keys, don't you?
Copy !req
264. - Natch.
- All right, sweet Sue.
Copy !req
265. Find Key 17. Do
exactly as I tell you.
Copy !req
266. - Gain level set.
- Okay.
Copy !req
267. Set the antitheft
systems. Let's go.
Copy !req
268. - Susie.
- Oh. Wow, am I ever glad to see you two.
Copy !req
269. Oh?
Copy !req
270. Just now, I saw a suspicious
character in the gym.
Copy !req
271. - Quick, run to safety.
- We'll take care of him.
Copy !req
272. Wait, Batman. Look, that
machine, it's been tampered with.
Copy !req
273. This might be tricky.
Copy !req
274. Get out your Batarang.
I'll slip in a dime.
Copy !req
275. Holy ball and chain.
Copy !req
276. Quick, let's get out
our cutting tools.
Copy !req
277. Oh. Knockout gas.
Copy !req
278. Twelve-and-one-half minutes
later inside this curious vehicle:
Copy !req
279. It's all hooked up, boss.
Copy !req
280. - Fifty-thousand volts from the city main.
- Good.
Copy !req
281. Gosh, Joker. This sure is some
crazy mixed-up moving van.
Copy !req
282. One of the assets of the One-Armed
Bandit Novelty Company, my dear.
Copy !req
283. Built for a whimsical
Caribbean dictator.
Copy !req
284. Happily for us, if not for the
Dynamic Duo, deposed before delivery.
Copy !req
285. - Oh, they're waking up.
- Careful now, my dimpled darling.
Copy !req
286. No names. I'll speak to them
through this trick microphone...
Copy !req
287. that disguises our voices.
Copy !req
288. Oh, what a ball.
Copy !req
289. Holy Las Vegas. Where are we?
Copy !req
290. In a strange kind of
game room, Boy Blunder.
Copy !req
291. - Do you see the machine next to you?
- Right.
Copy !req
292. It's going to spin around
merrily and merrily.
Copy !req
293. What's the payoff?
Copy !req
294. Three Liberty Bells: Your
freedom, and $50,000 cash.
Copy !req
295. Three oranges:
Your freedom only.
Copy !req
296. And if it's three lemons? Which the
percentages say is the more likely.
Copy !req
297. Fifty-thousand volts of electrifying
electricity, my fettered fatman.
Copy !req
298. Automatically on
the third lemon.
Copy !req
299. - Holy fruit salad.
- Sorry, I don't approve of gambling.
Copy !req
300. Enough, my captured
Caped Crusaders.
Copy !req
301. I guarantee this machine is
fair. So let the game commence.
Copy !req
