Shame anticipates The Dynamic Duo's return and prepares a double-barrel ambush! As predicted The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder do return to Westernland where they are greeted by a hail of bullets--and Robin is shot in the heel by Shame! Batman rushes The Boy Wonder back to The Batcave for treatment; there Alfred reports that he, as Bruce Wayne, is scheduled to appear at the rodeo this afternoon. Alfred's reminder manages to crack the case: Shame plans to steal the four prize Black Angus bulls, each worth $300,000, that will be on display! However, by the time The Dynamic Duo reach the rodeo, Shame and his posse are long gone with the bulls in his supertruck. Figuring the bulls have to be fed, Batman tracks the gang to The K.O. Corral down at the stockyards, where, after a blazing gunfight, Batman and Robin corral the entire gang of desperadoes and take them to the hoosegow.
At the Commissioner's officr, Commissioner Gordon tells Shame and his accomplices that the authorities "will transport them to the calaboose." Chief O'Hara comes in with Andy who states that he followed Shame in order to reclaim the radio Shame had stolen from him. Shame ends up giving Andy his radio back.

Robin: What's wrong, Batman? Batman: They've already attained a substantial lead over us, Robin. Plus with the speed of that truck, we'll never catch them now. And they have one great advantage over us. Robin: Which is? Batman: They know where they're going.
Robin: But he knows that we know about his hideout there! Batman: Correct! However, knowing that, he'd think that we'd think he would not return there, therefore he did and so will we!
