1. Gotham City. Another fine day.
Copy !req
2. But on a side
street, not so fine.
Copy !req
3. A small fish store.
Copy !req
4. Something smells, and
it's not last week's mackerel.
Copy !req
5. Psst. Alfred the
butler. Get ready.
Copy !req
6. No, no, Shark. You wanna warn
him? Get that thing out of sight.
Copy !req
7. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
8. Can I help you?
Fresh fish today?
Copy !req
9. Well, that depends.
Copy !req
10. Yeah, I ran across
this handbill...
Copy !req
11. advertising cut-rate caviar.
Copy !req
12. Oh, yes, sir. Right this way.
Copy !req
13. - The best in town.
- So I hope.
Copy !req
14. I should never permit myself
to serve anything but the best.
Copy !req
15. How much you need?
Copy !req
16. Couple ounces? Half a pound?
Copy !req
17. Twenty pounds at
least, my good man.
Copy !req
18. A pound per guest.
Copy !req
19. - Now, pardon me, ladies.
- Heh, heh, heh.
Copy !req
20. Mm. Very mild. Now, if
it's all as good as this...
Copy !req
21. What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
22. Help! Police!
Copy !req
23. Help! Help! Help!
Copy !req
24. Help! I say!
Copy !req
25. Yes, commissioner.
Copy !req
26. Not only did some passersby
see Alfred, the Wayne butler...
Copy !req
27. being carried to a
waiting car by hoodlums...
Copy !req
28. but the hoodlums had umbrellas.
Copy !req
29. We found this one at the scene.
Copy !req
30. Notice what's on the tip. Hm?
Copy !req
31. - Hm. Smells like caviar.
- Mm.
Copy !req
32. There's no doubt, commissioner.
Copy !req
33. - No doubt or me name ain't...
- O'Hara.
Copy !req
34. - Chief O'Hara.
- That's right.
Copy !req
35. Umbrellas, the absolute sign.
Copy !req
36. We're dealing with that waddling
pirate of plunder, the Penguin himself.
Copy !req
37. Or do we deal with him?
Copy !req
38. Oh, you hit the nail right
on the head, commissioner.
Copy !req
39. Oh, any ordinary crook,
the department can handle.
Copy !req
40. But when it comes to
the likes of the Penguin...
Copy !req
41. why, there's only
one being on earth.
Copy !req
42. Yes, commissioner, what is it?
Copy !req
43. Thank heavens I got you, Batman.
Copy !req
44. It's the Penguin
again. A kidnapping.
Copy !req
45. The Penguin, eh?
Who's his victim this time?
Copy !req
46. Batman, you know Bruce Wayne
the multimillionaire, of course.
Copy !req
47. - Of course.
- Well, the Penguin's victim is none other...
Copy !req
48. than Bruce Wayne's
butler, Alfred.
Copy !req
49. Batman, are you
there? Did you hear me?
Copy !req
50. Yes, I heard you, commissioner.
We'll join you at once.
Copy !req
51. Who is it, Bruce? Has the Penguin
kidnapped someone special?
Copy !req
52. Dick, I'm afraid you better put
your Latin verbs aside for the nonce.
Copy !req
53. The missing man is Alfred.
Copy !req
54. Holy Wayne Manor. You
don't mean our Alfred?
Copy !req
55. Yes, Dick, I mean our Alfred.
Copy !req
56. To the Batpoles.
Copy !req
57. Atomic batteries to power.
Copy !req
58. - Turbines to speed.
- Roger, ready to move out.
Copy !req
59. No doubt at all.
Copy !req
60. It does indeed point to Penguin.
Copy !req
61. Chief O'Hara, I congratulate
you on your keen deduction.
Copy !req
62. Hm? Oh, it was nothing.
Copy !req
63. But what troubles me is what
them hoodlums did with Alfred.
Copy !req
64. - They obviously took him somewhere.
- Very strange.
Copy !req
65. - What is, Robin?
- I'm sure you've noticed, Batman.
Copy !req
66. Alfred the butler has been kidnapped,
but there's no ransom demand.
Copy !req
67. By thunderation,
the lad is right.
Copy !req
68. But if it wasn't ransom that
the Penguin's after, what then?
Copy !req
69. I think I can answer
that, Chief O'Hara.
Copy !req
70. The multimillionaires'
annual award dinner.
Copy !req
71. The one at which a
dozen multimillionaires...
Copy !req
72. each donate a million dollars
cash to a chosen charity?
Copy !req
73. What does Alfred the
butler have to do with that?
Copy !req
74. It's not common knowledge, but
Alfred is the majordomo at that affair.
Copy !req
75. And I happen to know that his
employer, Mr. Bruce Wayne...
Copy !req
76. attends that dinner every year.
Copy !req
77. Batman, the location's
kept secret to avoid publicity.
Copy !req
78. The only ones who know... Oh.
Copy !req
79. Beg pardon, Boy Wonder?
Copy !req
80. If Alfred oversees the food and
service, he knows where it's held.
Copy !req
81. And that means...
Copy !req
82. Exactly, Robin.
Copy !req
83. That's what the
Penguin is after.
Copy !req
84. He kidnapped Alfred to force him
to divulge the location of the dinner.
Copy !req
85. Good thinking, Robin.
Copy !req
86. And $12 million is nothing to
sneeze at, even for Penguin.
Copy !req
87. Come on, Robin, let's race to the scene
of the kidnapping. We may find a clue.
Copy !req
88. But, Batman, the
fish store is empty.
Copy !req
89. It's a false fish store.
Copy !req
90. That's right, we checked
it over from stem to stern.
Copy !req
91. Meaning no offense, Chief O'Hara, your
department is the finest in the land...
Copy !req
92. but where you failed,
Robin and I may succeed.
Copy !req
93. Ah, the Dynamic Duo.
Copy !req
94. What would we do
without them, O'Hara?
Copy !req
95. Oh, commissioner,
don't even whisper it.
Copy !req
96. Oh, I shudder to
think of what might...
Copy !req
97. Uh-oh. I'm forgetting.
Copy !req
98. Parking lot, clear all
exits for the Batmobile.
Copy !req
99. And meanwhile on
Gotham City's waterfront...
Copy !req
100. the riverside rendezvous of the
Penguin and his fine, finny fiends.
Copy !req
101. Seagoing scoundrels all.
Copy !req
102. Octopus, some more ink.
Copy !req
103. Coming, boss.
Copy !req
104. Hm...
Copy !req
105. What do you think,
Penguin Poopsey?
Copy !req
106. It's lovely, Finella, my
little pollywog, lovely.
Copy !req
107. You're not even looking.
You told me to practice...
Copy !req
108. and you'd make sure that I
won a bathing beauty contest.
Copy !req
109. You will, I'll see to that.
Copy !req
110. It's all part and parcel of
my piratical plan. Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
111. But that will come later.
Copy !req
112. Right now I have
other fish to fry.
Copy !req
113. Stop it, you ruffian.
Don't do that.
Copy !req
114. Talk! Where's this here
multimillionaire dinner gonna be held?
Copy !req
115. Maybe I ought to
run this through you.
Copy !req
116. Shark, you mal brain!
Copy !req
117. But, boss, I gotta
make him tell.
Copy !req
118. Tell what? He can't tell
what he doesn't know.
Copy !req
119. - Doesn't know?
- Quite true, I do not know.
Copy !req
120. Not that I'd tell you if I did.
Copy !req
121. But, boss, if he don't have
the answer, what good is he?
Copy !req
122. Well, you don't comprehend my super-
calculated trickery, but you will. Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
123. And so will you,
Alfred, my boy...
Copy !req
124. when I put you in The
Penguin Box. Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
125. And I'll teach you how to
waddle like the penguin do.
Copy !req
126. You're right, it's
no secret now...
Copy !req
127. because the location of the
dinner hasn't been decided upon.
Copy !req
128. But when it has, you won't
be a silent butler anymore.
Copy !req
129. - You'll be a babbling butler.
- Never.
Copy !req
130. - It simply isn't done to betray one's master.
- Exactly, exactly.
Copy !req
131. And this Penguin Box
will make me your master.
Copy !req
132. - Everything ready?
- All set, boss.
Copy !req
133. Switch.
Copy !req
134. Hey, zombie stuff.
Copy !req
135. - He's brainwashed.
- Precisely.
Copy !req
136. As I say, my Penguin
Box never fails.
Copy !req
137. He's coming under
my power. Now watch.
Copy !req
138. You will remember none of this.
Copy !req
139. I will remember none of this.
Copy !req
140. What you will remember is...
Copy !req
141. the time...
Copy !req
142. The time...
Copy !req
143. - and the place...
- and the place...
Copy !req
144. of the
multimillionaires' dinner.
Copy !req
145. Of the
multimillionaires' dinner.
Copy !req
146. - Is that clear?
- Yes.
Copy !req
147. - Yes, what?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
148. Only a smear of caviar.
Copy !req
149. Chief O'Hara was right.
Copy !req
150. Not a clue in sight.
Copy !req
151. What's that on the floor, Robin,
that crumpled piece of paper?
Copy !req
152. Just an ad for this place.
Copy !req
153. "Big sale. Cut-rate caviar.
Copy !req
154. First come, first served."
Copy !req
155. Look closer, the
name of the proprietor.
Copy !req
156. "Knott A. Fish."
Copy !req
157. - Knott A. Fish?
- Don't you see, Robin?
Copy !req
158. - If he's not a fish...
- Of course. Holy subliminal.
Copy !req
159. If he's not a fish, he
must be the Penguin.
Copy !req
160. Exactly. Good deduction.
Copy !req
161. The Bat-phone in the Batmobile.
Copy !req
162. Remember, Robin,
always look both ways.
Copy !req
163. - Yes?
- This is Commissioner Gordon, Batman.
Copy !req
164. - What's wrong, commissioner?
- Not a thing, Batman.
Copy !req
165. For once, I'm happy to say
I'm the bearer of good news.
Copy !req
166. I'm happy to tell you that Mr. Wayne's butler
Alfred has not been kidnapped after all.
Copy !req
167. Not kidnapped? What
does he mean, Batman?
Copy !req
168. I heard that, Boy Wonder.
Heh, heh, heh. Ugh.
Copy !req
169. I mean, he has not
been kidnapped.
Copy !req
170. Alfred the butler has turned up?
Copy !req
171. Safe and sound as a dollar.
And you'll never guess where.
Copy !req
172. Right back home at the stately mansion
of his employer, millionaire Bruce Wayne.
Copy !req
173. Thank you, commissioner.
That's good news.
Copy !req
174. Holy puzzlers, Batman.
It's great that Alfred is safe.
Copy !req
175. - But somehow it sounds fishy to me.
- It certainly does, Robin.
Copy !req
176. The sooner we talk to Alfred ourselves, the
sooner we'll have the answers. Let's go.
Copy !req
177. But of course I
smell fishy, sir.
Copy !req
178. One does not purchase
20 pounds of caviar...
Copy !req
179. without attaining a certain
effluvium of fish eggs.
Copy !req
180. I had to hang out my
morning coat to wear.
Copy !req
181. But, Alfred, you were
reported kidnapped.
Copy !req
182. Batman and I came from the
fish store where they grabbed you.
Copy !req
183. Fish store? What fish store?
Copy !req
184. The one you went to,
to purchase the caviar.
Copy !req
185. I never went to any fish
store, sir. I did as I always do...
Copy !req
186. purchased it direct through
the Iranian Embassy.
Copy !req
187. Why? Is anything
the matter, sir?
Copy !req
188. - Where did you get that twitch?
- Get what, sir?
Copy !req
189. That twitch.
Copy !req
190. Twitch, sir? What twitch?
Copy !req
191. We'll never learn where the
Penguin took him this way.
Copy !req
192. Patience. There's more than
one way to locate a criminal.
Copy !req
193. Let's try the memory
Batbank on Alfred.
Copy !req
194. - Good idea.
- Alfred?
Copy !req
195. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
196. Would you like to look at some photographs
to see if you recognize some people?
Copy !req
197. Photos? Oh, gladly sir.
Copy !req
198. Yes?
Copy !req
199. A criminal type, sir, obviously.
Copy !req
200. And a smooth one.
Copy !req
201. They can be the most dangerous.
Copy !req
202. But not familiar?
Copy !req
203. No, sir, a total stranger.
Copy !req
204. Also a total stranger, and
I may add, I'm glad of it.
Copy !req
205. "Shark"? Hm. An
interesting appellation.
Copy !req
206. But you don't know him?
Copy !req
207. No, never seen him before, sir.
Copy !req
208. A rogue, if ever I saw one.
Copy !req
209. But this is my first
glimpse of him.
Copy !req
210. Now, Alfred, how about this one?
Copy !req
211. A fiend, sir. Obviously
a perfect fiend.
Copy !req
212. May one inquire as to his name?
Copy !req
213. His name is Penguin.
Copy !req
214. Penguin. Hm. Never
seen him before, sir.
Copy !req
215. Oh, excuse me, sir. This
is all most interesting...
Copy !req
216. but in a few minutes,
your guests will be here.
Copy !req
217. - Guests?
- Yes, Master Robin. The multimillionaires.
Copy !req
218. Alfred's right. The
rehearsal dinner.
Copy !req
219. We must be there. If we're not, it
would be a breach of good manners.
Copy !req
220. - Thank you for remembering, Alfred.
- Thank you, sir. A good butler never forgets.
Copy !req
221. Oh, the crabmeat canapés. I must
pop them in the oven right away.
Copy !req
222. Good idea, this rehearsal.
Copy !req
223. The ladies, such worthy causes.
Copy !req
224. I personally favor Miss,
uh, Natural Resources.
Copy !req
225. I'd like to make her my
own personal charity.
Copy !req
226. - All are worthy.
- You can say that again.
Copy !req
227. And that is Bruce Wayne's
grandfather, Mrs. Cooper?
Copy !req
228. His great-grandfather.
Copy !req
229. I understand he was
tapped for Skull and Bones.
Copy !req
230. Tapped for it?
Copy !req
231. Sir, he founded Skull and Bones.
Copy !req
232. - Canapé, miss?
- Oh, no, thank you.
Copy !req
233. I have to watch my figure.
Copy !req
234. I quite understand.
Copy !req
235. How do we decide
where we have dinner?
Copy !req
236. By vote, as usual, in
the democratic way.
Copy !req
237. - Canapé, sir?
- Don't mind if I do.
Copy !req
238. Hey, what's this?
Copy !req
239. A fishhook.
Copy !req
240. I'm terribly sorry, sir. It must've
fallen out of my morning coat.
Copy !req
241. - Your morning coat?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
242. The one I wore this morning when
I was preparing the canapés, sir.
Copy !req
243. Excuse me, old boy.
Copy !req
244. - Sir, do have another. I assure you the risk...
- Fallen from his coat, the one he wore.
Copy !req
245. Yes, this morning, when
the Penguin grabbed him.
Copy !req
246. A clue, Dick. Quickly,
back to the Batcave.
Copy !req
247. A fishhook. Clearly
that must mean...
Copy !req
248. - The waterfront.
- Holy fog, of course.
Copy !req
249. Where on the waterfront?
It runs for 146 miles.
Copy !req
250. You're forgetting the other clue,
Robin. Knott A. Fish, proprietor.
Copy !req
251. Let's see if the same name
pops up for a fishing pier.
Copy !req
252. No.
Copy !req
253. "Knott A. Fish." That's it.
Copy !req
254. "South Pier." Let's go.
Copy !req
255. Gosh, Batman, it
just occurred to me.
Copy !req
256. What if Penguin
is prepared for us?
Copy !req
257. - I hope he's not.
- But if he is?
Copy !req
258. That's a chance we
have to take, Robin.
Copy !req
259. We waiting for somebody, boss?
Copy !req
260. - Boss, it's the Batmobile.
- Yes.
Copy !req
261. Batman and Robin.
Copy !req
262. I knew that that fishhook
would fetch them.
Copy !req
263. You knew? You mean, you
bring them here on purpose?
Copy !req
264. They'll grab us.
That's the finish.
Copy !req
265. The finish for them, not
for us, my quaking cohorts.
Copy !req
266. But they're not captured
yet. If I may coin a phrase:
Copy !req
267. "There's many a slip,
so zipper your lip."
Copy !req
268. Here they come. Inside.
Copy !req
269. Quick.
Copy !req
270. Out of sight.
Copy !req
271. Finella, what are you doing?
Copy !req
272. Gee, Batman is handsome...
Copy !req
273. what I can make
out under the mask.
Copy !req
274. What you can make, my
dear, is make yourself scarce.
Copy !req
275. You may as well give
yourself up, Penguin.
Copy !req
276. Close your gills.
Copy !req
277. Holy clockwork. What next?
Copy !req
278. It proves he's here.
Copy !req
279. - Come on, Robin.
- Ah.
Copy !req
280. Argh!
Copy !req
281. Where is he?
Copy !req
282. Okay, come on.
Copy !req
283. Pengy, baby, I'm just not sure
that this is the right bathing suit.
Copy !req
284. Hey.
Copy !req
285. Argh!
Copy !req
286. Don't!
Copy !req
287. - But, boss, they're still breathing.
- Ah.
Copy !req
288. So they are, eh?
Copy !req
289. We'll remedy that...
Copy !req
290. by putting them in the...
Ha. In a vacuum tank.
Copy !req
291. Not the vacuum tank,
boss. It ain't human.
Copy !req
292. No, no, it ain't, is it?
Copy !req
293. Well, come on, you
mud-headed finks. Follow me.
Copy !req
294. Greetings, Dynamic
Duo. Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
295. Enough for all,
but not for long.
Copy !req
296. Come on, you finny finks.
Copy !req
297. - Keep the bellows working.
- How awful.
Copy !req
298. Yes, isn't it? Hand me that.
Copy !req
299. Wake up, Caped Crusader.
Copy !req
300. Yes, Batman, the
air is growing thinner.
Copy !req
301. As it does, the balloons will
begin to expand and burst...
Copy !req
302. so you watch the
balloons, Batman.
Copy !req
303. When all of them have burst,
the two of you will be finished.
Copy !req
