After Catwoman slips away to administer nameless horrors to Robin, Batman fends off Tinkerbell long enough to remove from his utility belt a pair of Batclaws, which he uses to climb up the wall and out of harm's reach. Realizing he won't be able to stay there for long, he plugs his Batears with a pair of Batearplugs and subdues the tiger with super-amplified sounds (20,000 decibels!) from a Batcommunicator on his utility belt. The Caped Crusader leaps from the wall, takes refuge in the room where the tiger was released, and heads out to save his sidekick---only to find himself lost in the catacombs of Catwoman's lair. Meanwhile, Catwoman is on to bigger and badder things, having Robin balanced on the end of a board over a pit of more hungry tigers and supplying sand (matching The Boy Wonder's weight) to the other end of the board. As the sand is released, the board lowers Robin slowly, deeper and deeper into the tiger den! Leaving her henchmen to her own devices, The Catwoman departs in search of Captain Manx's treasure, using a map created by fitting the two Golden Cats together and drawing their outline. Batman saves his chum in the nick of time, and pit their fists against Catwoman's lackeys; during the battle, Leo escapes to join his female boss and warn her of Batman's pursuit of her.
The Dynamic Duo spirit the Golden Cats to the Batcave, where they deduce Catwoman's scheme. Soon they are at McElroy Point, where the treasure is supposedly buried — and suddenly they find themselves forced to navigate Catwoman's minefield (sabotaged by Leo.) The pair make use of The Batmobile Batarmor and Automatic Tire Device to escape the mines unscathed, just as The Feline-eous Femme Fatale and Leo locate the treasure in a nearby cave. Overcome by greed, Catwoman double-crosses Leo by gassing him to sleep, and she winds up being chased through the dark cave by the arriving Dynamic Duo. Catwoman arrives at the edge a bottomless crevice which she tries unsuccessfully to leap; with the heavy booty weighing her down, she barely manages to catch hold of a stalactite on the other side. Batman tries to save her but, because she refuses to let go of the treasure to save at least one of her lives, she plummets into the bottomless chasm! (Wonder if she landed on her feet?) Later at Wayne Manor, Alfred, Bruce and Dick, in the midst of playing chess, are surprised by Aunt Harriet, who presents them with Catwoman's pet feline and claims he stole a lobster she was preparing for dinner. Dick merely quips, "He comes from a broken home."
NEXT WEEK: the return of The Penguin!
