Come Back, Shame (1)

Episode Number: 59    Season Num: 2    First Aired: November 30, 1966    Prod Code: 9729-Pt. 1
Shame, a conniving cowboy of crime, and his western gang comprised of Okie Annie, Messy James, and Rip Snorting, plan to build a superpowered truck, which will outrace even The Batmobile. Needing some additional parts for the truck, they swipe a racing car right in the middle of The Gotham City 500 Road Race! Shame returns to his hideout at the abandoned Westernland Amusement Park, where he befriends a small boy names Andy, who imitates a cowboy. Meanwhile, Batman and Robin have figured out Shame's scheme and plants a story with DJ Hot Rod Harry about the new parts added to the Wayne Limousine. Shame listens to said broadcast on Andy's radio and prepares to hijack the limo, with Oakie Annie as bait!

Taking a drive in the limo, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson and Alfred (who doubles as chauffeur) encounter a cow in the middle of the road. The three get out of the limo to move the cow...when suddenly Shame and his pernicious posse emerge from the bushes armed to the teeth, and they make off with the car. Long after Shame and crew have vanished, The Batcycle, which had been following them for a mile behind them, arrives, carrying The Alfcycle, which Alfred rides to The Batcave (using a circuitous route), and Bruce and Dick follow suit in The Batcycle. Later on, The Dynamic Duo trace the vehicle to Westernland by way of The Infrared Batdust, with which the Wayne limo's tires were cleverly coated but can only be detected by The Batmobile's specially tinted windshield. After a battle, The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder are knocked senseless by a falling chandelier. Shane leads them outside and stakes them out in the middle of the road and releases a herd of stampeding cattle in their direction, with intentions of trampling The Duo!

Notes

Repeated on ABC August 9, 1967. (edit)
Cliff Robertson (Shame) later in 2002 had another on-screen involvement with another superhero. He portrayed Peter(Spiderman)Parker's Uncle Ben Parker. (edit)
Title is based on the catchcry of Joey Starrett (Brandon DeWilde), uttered at the end of the 1953 Paramount Western classic Shane, which starred Alan Ladd in the title role. (edit)
The revamped Batcycle crosses over from the 1966 Batman movie into the TV series for the first time in this episode. It will appear again in Episode #9745-Pt. 2, "A Riddling Controversy," and Episode #9755-Pt. 2, "Batman's Waterloo." (edit)
The music heard on Andy (Eric Shea)'s transistor radio is the same as the discotheque music heard in The What A Way To Go-Go discotheque in the series premiere, "Hi Diddle Riddle." It can also be heard in the second-season debut, "Shoot A Crooked Arrow," during The Dynamic Duo's Batclimb encounter with Dick Clark. (edit)
