The Purr-Fect CrimeEpisode Number: 19 Season Num: 1 First Aired: March 16, 1966 Prod Code: n/a |
The Catwoman purr-loins one of a matched pair of Mark Andrews' priceless Golden Cat statuettes (which holds a secret to the lost treasure of Captain Manx) from a Gotham museum, so Batman and Robin rush to safeguard the other one from her clutches. After Alfred and Robin recharge The Batmobile with the atomic pile in The Batcave, The Dynamic Duo coat the cat with golden radioactive mist, and The Dynamic Duo wait in the shadows for Catwoman to appear. But the factions of law and disorder clash, and Robin is drugged by the felonious feline and her two accomplices, Felix and Leo. In the fracas surrounding Batman's efforts to save his pal, Catwoman and company make off with the second statue.
After Robin resuscitates, The Duo, aided by the radioactive mist, trace Catwoman to her lair, The Gato And Chat Fur Company warehouse @ 2809 West 20th Street. There, Batman and Robin plummet through a trap door into Catwoman's clutches! After subjecting her prey to moving walls of spikes (made of rubber!) and a toy bomb, as a normal cat will do, she spirits The Boy Wonder away to unknown torments while The Caped Crusader is forced to choose between two doors (Holy Let's Make A Deal!) — behind one is Catwoman; behind the other is a deadly Batman-eating tiger, answering to a rather unsuitable moniker of Tinkerbell! Much to his consternation, Batman chooses the door leading to the tiger and not the lady...

(edit)
This episode was the second one chosen by GAF ViewMaster to make into one of their disk sets.
(edit)
This is the only time the famed Atomic Pile was seen in use.
(edit)
There was actually only one live tiger used on the show; the others in the pit were of stock footage.
(edit)
In the Batman comics, The Catwoman's real name was Selina Kyle which was never used on the TV series.
(edit)
Robin: Gato and Chat Fur Company. Gato means cat in Spanish and chat means cat in French! Only the Catwoman would choose a hideout with those names.
Batman: I’m glad you’re up on your foreign languages, Robin. They come in handy when fighting crime.
Robin: Si, si, Batman. What do we do now? (edit) (After Robin has passed out)
Catwoman: Poor little, Robin. Did the itty-bitty kitty ruffle your feathers?

The Purr-Fect CrimeGreat "Character development" We get our first look at Catwoman and quite a sight it is. My only real negative for this episode is the rather lackluster fight scene. Continue » Posted Dec 1, 2007 12:15 pm PST |
