Batman quickly dispenses with the fog bomb with a General Emergency Batextinguisher, then returns with Robin to venerable Ireland Yard to warn Commissioner Gordon and Superintendant Watson of their suspicions of The Lord and his Lady. While there, they are sent a clue that leads them to a pub on the docks called The Three Bells. Barbara Gordon, in the meantime, plans to join Ffogg's teaching staff. Down at the docks, The Dynamic Duo find a ship containing priceless mod materials and patterns from Barnaby Street. In the pub, Batman is captured inside by Ffogg and his henchmen while the underage Robin, barred from the pub (overrun by hippies and mod people!) and left outside in The Batmobile to guard the ship, is swept away by Lady Peasoup and her henchwomen after severing the ship's mooring line and setting it free.

Back on the road outside Ffogg Estate, The Caped Crusadress, Batgirl, rendezvous with Alfred and, voicing her suspicions about Ffogg and Peasoup, proceeds to investigate The Cricket Pavilion, and, having a little more luck, discovers stolen loot stored by Ffogg's. However, she is detected by Lady Prudence, who immediately immobilizes her in a cloud of paralyzing gas. Convinced his sister has secured the ship, Lord Ffogg has The Boy Wonder moved to the winch room at The Tower Bridge, where he is tied to the winch that opens and closes the bridge. Batman uses The Batcomputer to locate robin just as the winch starts to rais the bridge and, using his Antimechanical Batray, manages to stop the bridge and rescue Robin from death in the Tower of Londinium. Together, they battle Lord Ffogg, Scudder, Basil and Digby — but Ffogg escapes by creating yet another cloud of man-made mist with his pipe of fog! Add a recap »
