1. Gotham City on a
pleasant morning.
Copy !req
2. And in one of its most
exclusive fur salons...
Copy !req
3. elegant ladies shop
with doting husbands.
Copy !req
4. This is just too sporty.
Copy !req
5. What an elegant coat.
Copy !req
6. And a magnificent color.
Copy !req
7. - Darling, what do you think of this?
- If you like it, darling, it's all yours.
Copy !req
8. Oh, you're a
dream. I just love it.
Copy !req
9. All right, everybody, stand
still and no one will be injured.
Copy !req
10. This is a stick-up.
Copy !req
11. Get out of here.
Who are you anyhow?
Copy !req
12. Your friendly neighborhood
holdup man, at your service, sir.
Copy !req
13. What is this, some vulgar joke?
Copy !req
14. Yes, but the joke is
on you, my good fellow.
Copy !req
15. And there's nothing vulgar
about half a million in furs.
Copy !req
16. I do believe it's that
arch criminal, the Joker.
Copy !req
17. Ladies and gentlemen, my staff
of felonious furriers. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
18. All right, everybody, to
the center of the room.
Copy !req
19. Come, come, come.
Copy !req
20. A joke: What are more mink
skins used for than anything else?
Copy !req
21. To hold minks together.
Copy !req
22. Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Belmont
of the banking Belmonts, I believe.
Copy !req
23. Oh, what lovely jewels, Mrs.
Belmont. And what a stunning coat.
Copy !req
24. Thank heavens we
haven't bought it yet.
Copy !req
25. - Closer. Closer, everybody.
- Aah!
Copy !req
26. Closer, closer. I want
a tight little group.
Copy !req
27. All right, staff. Get
ready, take aim.
Copy !req
28. - No.
- They're going to shoot us down like cattle.
Copy !req
29. - Why you filthy cad.
- Fire.
Copy !req
30. And now, Mrs.
Belmont, if you please.
Copy !req
31. Oh, thank you, dear lady.
Copy !req
32. I'm all stuck up.
Copy !req
33. But of course, I said this
is a stick-up. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
34. And now to all, farewell.
Copy !req
35. Staff, let us away.
Copy !req
36. A hairpin?
Copy !req
37. First, we get a report that he's
stolen a hole from a golf green...
Copy !req
38. and now a hairpin?
Copy !req
39. What is the Joker up to?
Copy !req
40. About to start on another series
of his dastardly crimes, I'll wager.
Copy !req
41. - Then we'd better not delay.
- Right.
Copy !req
42. For there's no one else can cope
with the capers of that devilish clown.
Copy !req
43. Right, Chief O'Hara.
Copy !req
44. Though we may never know
who he is behind that mask of his...
Copy !req
45. thank goodness he's there
when a crisis befalls us.
Copy !req
46. And in Wayne Manor...
Copy !req
47. stately home of millionaire Bruce Wayne
and his youthful ward, Dick Grayson.
Copy !req
48. I'll solicit his presence, sir.
Copy !req
49. But it's so much harder with
the pieces upside down, Bruce.
Copy !req
50. Of course, but think of what excellent
training it is for your visual memory.
Copy !req
51. Gosh, yes. I guess that's true.
Copy !req
52. - Excuse me, sir.
- Yes?
Copy !req
53. It's the Batphone.
Copy !req
54. Oh, boy. Let's go.
Copy !req
55. - Well, where are they off to now?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
56. I just brought
them a little snack.
Copy !req
57. A call, I believe, madam. From
Mr. Wayne's sporting-goods suppliers.
Copy !req
58. A superior new design of binoculars
has just arrived for their bird watching.
Copy !req
59. Yes, Commissioner?
Copy !req
60. Dire news, Batman.
It's the Joker again.
Copy !req
61. We'll be right there,
Commissioner.
Copy !req
62. To the Batpoles.
Copy !req
63. Atomic batteries to power.
Copy !req
64. - Turbines to speed.
- Roger. Ready to move out.
Copy !req
65. It arrived while you were
on the way here, Batman.
Copy !req
66. Timed perfectly.
Copy !req
67. Then we'll proceed
with extreme care.
Copy !req
68. Robin.
Copy !req
69. Chief, commissioner,
stand back, please.
Copy !req
70. Ready?
Copy !req
71. - Holy jack in the box.
- Saints alive.
Copy !req
72. Strange but...
Copy !req
73. harmless.
Copy !req
74. Huh.
Copy !req
75. A small recording
machine with a tape on it.
Copy !req
76. Play it, Batman.
Copy !req
77. Good evening, commissioner.
Copy !req
78. I assume Batman is there by now, so
give him my regards, will you? Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
79. Oh, by the way, did you
hear what the maid said...
Copy !req
80. when the duchess asked if she'd given
the goldfish fresh water that morning?
Copy !req
81. "No, Your Highness, he hasn't
yet used what he had yesterday."
Copy !req
82. Not a very funny joke, I'd say.
Copy !req
83. The Joker's never
are, in the end.
Copy !req
84. Do you suppose any of
this could mean anything?
Copy !req
85. Possibly, but not
what it seems to mean.
Copy !req
86. That's the key to the
Joker's twisted mind.
Copy !req
87. But why? It's not like the
Joker to help us catch him.
Copy !req
88. It could be a trap.
Copy !req
89. Why would he want a
hole from a golf course?
Copy !req
90. The golf course, of course.
Copy !req
91. His Highness the Maharajah of
Nimpha arrived in Gotham City today...
Copy !req
92. and he's so rich, he plays golf
with jewel-inlaid, solid-gold clubs.
Copy !req
93. That's it, Batman. The joke on this tape.
His Highness and the "gold" in "goldfish."
Copy !req
94. And he's scheduled to play in one
hour at the Winnikoto Country Club.
Copy !req
95. - Where he stole the hole.
- Let's go.
Copy !req
96. Be careful, Batman. Be careful.
Copy !req
97. While at the exclusive
Winnikoto Country Club...
Copy !req
98. a sinister figure looms
above the fairway.
Copy !req
99. Look, it's Batman.
Copy !req
100. Crime is certainly
rampant these days.
Copy !req
101. Batman.
Copy !req
102. Batman, I presume.
Copy !req
103. - Correct.
- I'm Prescott Belmont, president of the club.
Copy !req
104. I got your message. I'll be glad
to assist you in any way I can.
Copy !req
105. Good. There could be
more foul play here today.
Copy !req
106. Has the Maharajah of
Nimpha begun his round?
Copy !req
107. Not five minutes ago
with his honor, the mayor.
Copy !req
108. They're still on the first hole.
Copy !req
109. Is there some vantage
point overlooking the course?
Copy !req
110. - Any place where we won't be conspicuous.
- The lower terrace.
Copy !req
111. Let's go.
Copy !req
112. Odd. Everything looks serene.
Copy !req
113. Let me look.
Copy !req
114. Holy Taj Mahal.
Copy !req
115. Look at those
jewel-studded golf clubs.
Copy !req
116. Yes.
Copy !req
117. That would be a rich
prize for the Joker.
Copy !req
118. Very fine chip shot,
Your Highness.
Copy !req
119. What's so fine? It
should have been closer.
Copy !req
120. Yes, but the grass grows
the wrong way, Your Highness.
Copy !req
121. If this were only
Nimphanese blue grass.
Copy !req
122. I'm away, Your Highness.
Copy !req
123. Mr. Mayor, please don't
putt while I'm talking.
Copy !req
124. Forgive me, Your Highness.
Copy !req
125. All right, go ahead.
Copy !req
126. Batman, something's happening.
Copy !req
127. Looks like yellow gas.
Copy !req
128. It is gas.
Copy !req
129. Quick, to the Batmobile.
Copy !req
130. Sorry to be so abrupt.
This could be an emergency.
Copy !req
131. Wait.
Copy !req
132. It's not just the clubs...
Copy !req
133. - they're stealing the Maharajah.
- Good heavens.
Copy !req
134. With a forklift.
Copy !req
135. Let's get going and make
an emergency Bat-turn.
Copy !req
136. Not this time, old chum. We
have to think of the golfers.
Copy !req
137. The retro rockets would burn
up the course for 100 yards.
Copy !req
138. Holy tee-shot, it's gone.
Copy !req
139. But where?
Copy !req
140. Holy shrinkage.
Copy !req
141. A trick of some sort, no doubt.
Copy !req
142. There's something inside.
Copy !req
143. We'll see.
Copy !req
144. It's a note.
Copy !req
145. "Batman, did you hear about the kid
who wanted to sell his dog for $50,000?
Copy !req
146. He got his price, traded
it for two $25,000 cats.
Copy !req
147. But you can't make a deal
like that for the Maharajah...
Copy !req
148. because we've got
plenty of cats already.
Copy !req
149. Don't call us, we'll call you."
Copy !req
150. - Plenty of cats.
- Cats, cats, and more cats.
Copy !req
151. It could be an old refinery
Katz, Katz, Katz and Company.
Copy !req
152. It's been out of use for years
but would make a perfect hideout.
Copy !req
153. It sounds too simple.
Copy !req
154. Almost as if he wanted
us to solve it immediately.
Copy !req
155. - We'll have to be on our guard, Batman.
- Right, let's go.
Copy !req
156. How right they are, for inside the
seemingly innocent old refinery...
Copy !req
157. the Joker and his crew
prepare for company.
Copy !req
158. Oh, my playful pilfering pals,
this is going to be delicious.
Copy !req
159. Bring the table in here. Quickly,
quickly. Put it right in the center.
Copy !req
160. Now get the chairs.
Get the chairs.
Copy !req
161. One... One here. One over here.
One there, one there, one there.
Copy !req
162. Quickly. Everything
must be just right. Ha-ha.
Copy !req
163. Now, how does
that look, my pretty?
Copy !req
164. Oh, perfect, Joker. Do
you really think he'll come?
Copy !req
165. Oh, he'll be here, never
fear. You mark my words.
Copy !req
166. Joker, why didn't you get me something
longer than this when you had the chance?
Copy !req
167. Oh, that's not my style, lovey.
Copy !req
168. Any common hoodlum can do that.
Copy !req
169. Oh, but never fear, my dear, we'll
buy you countless furs and jewels.
Copy !req
170. Oh, gee, Joker. You're perfect.
Copy !req
171. Yeah, practically.
Copy !req
172. Joker. Joker. He just parked
that hot rod of his up the street.
Copy !req
173. Excellent. Everybody take your places.
And you stand out of harm's way, my dear.
Copy !req
174. There. Now, deal them up.
Copy !req
175. What'll we do, Batman? Use the
Batropes? Go in through the skylight?
Copy !req
176. Let's try the direct approach. With
his twisted mind, it could surprise him.
Copy !req
177. Strange, it's not locked.
Copy !req
178. Holy spider webs.
A nest for rats.
Copy !req
179. - Now.
- We've got you this time, Joker.
Copy !req
180. Want to join the game,
Batman and Boy Wonder?
Copy !req
181. You'd better hurry,
it won't last long.
Copy !req
182. Holy looking glass.
Copy !req
183. A truck with folding
mirrors in its sides.
Copy !req
184. No wonder it vanished.
Copy !req
185. Yes, with nothing but the green
of the golf course to reflect...
Copy !req
186. it turned green too and
seemed to disappear.
Copy !req
187. But we're on to
your tricks, Joker.
Copy !req
188. You might as well...
Copy !req
189. Circle now and intertwine
Neatly wrap these guests of mine
Copy !req
190. And no more will they jeer and
scoff I'll cut their circulation off
Copy !req
191. If they do not see the joke Pull
the ropes and let them choke
Copy !req
192. - Holy eight ball, this trick rope of his!
- It's like being caught in a barrel of snakes.
Copy !req
193. Oh, well now, I must say, this
is an expected pleasure. Ha-ha.
Copy !req
194. You may have won
the first round, Joker...
Copy !req
195. - but we don't give up.
- Hah!
Copy !req
196. Hmm. I've heard about Batman, but
this is the first time I've ever met him.
Copy !req
197. And the last.
Copy !req
198. - So that's your dirty game.
- We might have known.
Copy !req
199. Why don't we think
about this, Joker?
Copy !req
200. - Think about it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
201. What is this? Have you
gone soft, my little savage?
Copy !req
202. Well, I, uh...
Copy !req
203. I bet he wouldn't try to knock
you off, if he had the chance.
Copy !req
204. Oh, no, he'd merely try to incarcerate
me in durance vile for the rest of my life.
Copy !req
205. Oh-ho. A fate much worse than
death for a spirit such as mine.
Copy !req
206. - Still, we might give them a sporting chance.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
207. Oh, no, boss. We may never
get another chance like this.
Copy !req
208. That's right, we gotta get rid of
them. We owe it to the criminal world.
Copy !req
209. Well, we'll see. Bring them along.
Come, come, come. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
210. And now my Dynamic Duo...
Copy !req
211. something I've been
waiting to do for a long time.
Copy !req
212. There, my funny ray has neutralized
the gadgets in your utility belts...
Copy !req
213. for at least an hour.
Copy !req
214. - You're both good swimmers, I hope.
- Fair.
Copy !req
215. Then you can easily remain
afloat for an hour, I presume?
Copy !req
216. If we weren't weighted
down or something.
Copy !req
217. You let these guys escape,
it'll be the mistake of your career.
Copy !req
218. - Yeah.
- You keep out of this.
Copy !req
219. If he wants to give them a
sporting chance, that's his business.
Copy !req
220. Oh, well, perhaps
they won't make it.
Copy !req
221. Gentlemen, step
that way, please.
Copy !req
222. This is delicious,
absolutely delicious.
Copy !req
223. Enough, enough,
enough. Out of my way.
Copy !req
224. I'll give you a few minutes
to get out of these...
Copy !req
225. before I start filling that.
Copy !req
226. And if you remain afloat for
an hour, you go absolutely free.
Copy !req
227. Now, what more could you ask?
Copy !req
228. I still suspect some trick.
Copy !req
229. Now, now, let's not
be bitter. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
230. I think we should give him
the benefit of the doubt, Robin.
Copy !req
231. Until he proves
otherwise. It's only fair.
Copy !req
232. - I suppose you're right.
- Of course, he's right.
Copy !req
233. Gentlemen, be my guests.
Copy !req
234. Thank you.
Copy !req
235. Come, my sweet.
Copy !req
236. Holy smoke stack.
Copy !req
237. What a spot to get out of.
Copy !req
238. Right, Batman. There are
only two ways to get out of there.
Copy !req
239. One, I let you out.
Copy !req
240. And two, you jump
50 feet, straight up.
Copy !req
241. You still intend to free us if
we can stay afloat for an hour?
Copy !req
242. Oh, dear me.
Copy !req
243. Surely you don't think I'd joke about
such a serious matter as that, do you?
Copy !req
244. No.
Copy !req
245. Time to start filling the tank.
Copy !req
246. But that's gas.
Copy !req
247. I do believe you're
right. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
248. But then, who said anything
about water? Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
249. But you can't float in gas.
Copy !req
250. No, but you can drown in it.
Copy !req
251. Oh, Joker, that's a dirty trick.
Copy !req
252. Oh, forget it, Jill.
Copy !req
253. You didn't really think I was going to pass up
a chance like this, did you, my peerless pair?
Copy !req
254. Play traitor to all my
principles and friends?
Copy !req
255. Oh, no. Ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
256. But one last word of
advice, don't stir it up.
Copy !req
257. Too narrow in here
to use the Batrope.
Copy !req
258. There's nothing
for them to catch on.
Copy !req
259. And he's neutralized the rest
of the stuff in the utility belts.
Copy !req
260. What are we going to do?
Copy !req
261. Unless there's
someone to help us...
Copy !req
262. I don't know.
Copy !req
263. But help from where?
Copy !req
264. Not the Joker, certainly.
Copy !req
