Joker, however, escapes with his minions and a document signed by Bruce that names The Joker bank vice president! The next time Batman and Robin pay a visit to the bank, they discover that Joker, employing the alias "W.C. Whiteface," has hired his moll and gang as bank employees. Unable to take legal action, The Duo return to Wayne Manor. There, as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, they meet with Joker and Josie, who now proceeds to attempt to perpetrate an intricate blackmail scheme on Bruce with a secret tape recording of his demand for counterfeit cash! In exchange for the tape, Bruce must turn over the corpses of The Dynamic Duo. He refuses and Joker then orders Bruce to marry Josie with an initial $3 million marriage settlement! Bruce can't figure out how to foil the scheme without revealing his secret identity, so he, with Dick, seeks an alternate way out. Back in The Batcave, Batman and Robin hatch a Batscheme to use The Joker's own robots against him. While The Boy Wonder rigs the robots, Bruce Wayne is summoned upstairs where he is apprehended. Believing Bruce was not in his right mind when he appointed Joker to the position of bank VP, Gordon calls in a specialist named Dr. Floyd, who arranges for Bruce to be declared legally insane and put away for his own good! Wayne is then apprehended by Chief O'Hara and The AntiLunatic Squad.
      ''Alfred quickly heads to The Batcave to relay this info to Robin, and, after giving Boff, Yock and Mr. Glee their final instructions, Robin and Alfred speed off by Batmobile to rescue Bruce. Locating the van, they blast open its doors with The Batray and use the superpowered Batmagnet to attract the metal buckles of Bruce's straitjacket to yank him from the speeding van, and he rolls with the fall to escape harm. Bruse switches back to Batman with a spare Batsuit, and The Dynamic Duo race the remaining mile to the bank, arriving just in time to witness the robots in action. Mr. Glee identifies Josie as his long-lost wife, and The Caped Crusader accuses The Joker of aiding and abetting bigamy! Just then, Boff and Yock, the robot tellers, start holding up the customers as per Batman's instructions. Realizing something has gone awry, The Joker pulls out his robot control device and reprogram Boff and Yock to seize The Dynamic Duo. Batman and Robin, knowing that Joker has hoisted himself on his own petard, use the opportunity to pin an attempted murder charge on The Fiendish Funnyman once they have quickly dispatched the mechanical malefactors. Later, Dr. Floyd pronounces that Bruce's fall from the van has restored his sanity, and Bruce receives a clean bill of health.

As predicted, The Batmobile gets there before The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder, just in time to release a safety net from the trunk to catch them. The Duo return to Penguin's movie studio, where the pompous, waddling producer dresses them in 2 suits of armor and them immobilizes them with a huge electromagnet, leaving them suspended in midair while he keeps an appointment with Gen. MacGruder at The Hexagon. Back at the studio, The Batman somehow manages to loosen a fitting from his suit of armor and tosses it into an open light socket, overloading the circuit, shorting out the fuse, deactivating the magnet, and releasing him and Robin.

The Frigid Fiend is succeeding in his plan as he has finally managed to lead Gotham into believing Batman has weakened to the temptations of bribery! Mr. Freeze, believing that Batman and Robin are out of the way, proceeds with his master plan to blackmail Gotham City. Unless the city fathers pay him $1,000,000,000, Mr. Freeze will bury the city into one huge cake of ice! To prove his intentions are sincere, he demonstrates his power by freezing The Gotham City Reservoir.
      Gordon is tempted to contact The Dynamic Duo, but is discouraged by his loss of faith in Batman.

The Dynamic Duo save themselves by outshouting the piano with bad Bat-singing. Batman and Robin quickly apprehend Harry and his pack of Piano Movers and take them to Police HQ, where they reveal that a master criminal named Fingers is the ringleader...only to have Harry sprung from the hoosegow by his criminal attorney, Alfred Slye. Convinced that Chandell and Fingers are one and the same, and deducing his plan to do away with Bruce and Dick and marry up with Aunt Harriet, The Dynamic Duo form a trap for The Precarious Pianist. They arrange for their own deaths by faking an explosion in the darkroom set up in the front hall. Immediately upon learning that Chandell, after marrying Aunt Harriet, is going straight and abandon them, Harry and Doe, Rae, and Mimi decide to take matters into their own hands.

      The girls put Chandell to sleep with their bewitching bagpipes. Mr. Slye shows up and informs Harry that he won't be able to claim The Wayne Fortune until the will is settled in 11 years...and then presents his client with a staggering $100,000 bill, payable by midnight, or he will be brought back to jail. Believing Slye's fees are too high, Harry orders his beauties to work him over with their bagpipes, too. Chandell and Slye are then tied to the conveyor belt leading into the same music roll machine which failed to do in The Dynamic Duo earlier. Masquerading as Chandell, Harry pays a visit on Harriet, who immediately spots him for a phony and tries to take him by citizen's arrest at gunpoint ("As they say in the movies, 'stick up your mitts!'!"), but is overcome, along with Alfred, by the spellbinding sound of the girls' bagpipes. Harry transports the two in a packing case and sprays it with machine-gunfire, only to watch in shock as The Dynamic Duo, protected by The Batshield, leap out and capture the gang, and rescue Chandell and Slye from the monstrous music roll machine. Harriet receives a medal by The GCPD for bravery; then is saddened to learn that Chandell is going on a 20-year "world tour" (behind bars, with Doe, Rae, Mimi, and evil twin Harry!).

Minstrel nevertheless broadcasts his ultimatums with his own power, but The Caped Crusader realises the broadcast was prerecorded and he sees through The Minstrel's disguise as one of the members of the stock exchange! Minstrel and his men, Bass and Treble, who were disguised as caterers, are brought to justice by The Dynamic Duo! Later that night, Bruce Wayne and his brood watch The Minstrel on a newscast, prior to being transferred to Gotham State Pen, singing a promise of a jailbreak and revenge upon Batman and Robin.''''NEXT WEEK: another battle royal with King Tut!moreless

Next, Archer and his cronies hijack an armored car carrying $10 million, which The Wayne Foundation plans to donate to the poor Gothamites. The truck is later found abandoned not too short a distance away with the cash left untouched, so the ceremony commences as planned.

Dale, one of The Wayne Foundation's directors who was resposible for the money's well-being, is one of The Archer's merry band of mad malefactors, and they are planning to escape by boat to Switzerland in international waters, where they feel they'll be forever protected from the law...or so they assume! The Dynamic Duo chase the crooks by Batboat and rout The Archer, Crier Tuck, Big John, Maid Marilyn, and Alan A. Dale before they get the chance!

      Shoot a Crooked Arrow

      9.0
      In The Caped Crusader's second season opener, The Archer, a medieval crook modeled after Robin Hood, escapes from Police Headquarters in a moving van from The Trojan Hearse Company, driven by Maid Marilyn. Together, with his band of merry malefactors - Crier Tuck and Big John - he pays a surprise visit to Wayne Manor, where they gas everyone and then steal the loose cash Bruce kept in the wall safe, thus stealing from the rich, and giving it to the poor, clueless Gothamites. Later that day, The Archer and company attempt to thwart justice by dropping in on Police HQ. Protected with goggles, the medieval muggers blind Commissioner Gordon, Chief O'Hara, and The Dynamic Duo with another of Archer's special trick arrows and beat a hasty retreat out the window. As The Archer, Marion, Tuck and John give out the money they swiped from The Everett Bannister's Koin Machines Company, they are apprehended by Batman and Robin---only to be rapidly bailed out by the poor but misguided citizens with the exact same money distributed to them by Archer, whom they view as a hero!

      The Dynamic Duo trace The Archer to his hideout at The Earl Of Huntington Archery Range (Robin Hood is the alias of The Earl Of Huntington) in Gotham's Green Forest section, where Alfred Pennyworth attempts to divert the crooks long enough for The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder to inspect his GHQ--where they unwittingly trigger a secret alarm which ensnares them in a giant net. After stringing up The Duo by their thumbs, The Archer demands Batman reveal The Batcave's secret location or else he beheads Alfred (Archer intends to storm The Cave and destroy the crime computers therein). The Caped Crusader notices to his relief that the gullontine Archer plans to use on Alfred is a fake prop used by magicians and refuses Archer's ultimatum. Archer takes The Dynamic Duo out doors, ties them to a stake, and, along with his merry madmen (mounted on horseback), perpare to run them both through with lances!!moreless
