Episode Summary
Just as Gordon and O'Hara shoot, The Dynamic Duo lift up their feet and deflect the deadly bullets with the bulletproof soles of their boots. The Batman then cuts himself and Robin free of their bonds with his Batknife, and they both escape. Upon discovering The Dynamic Duo's escape from his trap, The Penguin gets his new society friends to put pressure on Commissioner Gordon to rally Gotham to a manhunt or bat-and-robin-hunt and Gordon has no choice but to agree. Batman & Robin arrive at The Penguin Protection Agency, faking insanity and ready to tear The Penguin, Eagle-Eye and Dove apart! Following the ensuing melee, The Dynamic Duo immediately depart upon the arrival of the authorities, who, after chasing The Demented Duo for a couple of blocks, apparently kill them in a shootout in an nearby alley but the cops' guns were loaded with blanks, as Batman had planned.
Convinced Batman and Robin are finished, Penguin and his Finks swipe The Batmobile and speed off to plans their master caper, which is scheduled to transpire during his wedding to Sophia (the theft of his own wedding gifts!). Eagle-Eye and Dove rig a water pipe, which explodes; then the umbrellas which Penguin has passed out burst out in spectacular display, diverting attention from the fact that the wedding gifts are being burgled, using the ex-Batmobile (rechristened as The Birdmobile!!) as a getaway car, and they head for their secret impregnable hideaway. Batman and Robin, riding The Batcycle, use their deep knowledge of the vehicle (and a remote control!) to force The Batmobile to do their bidding and deliver The Pompous, Waddling Master Of Fowl Play and his Finks to justice. Sophia Starr, despite this experience, still believes she can reform Penguin by marrying him, but believes otherwise when The Avaricious Avian fancies the wedding gifts more than his would-be bride!

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Goof: Batman says he has a camera in the Batmobile which might suggest an interior mounted camera, but the footage he watches is filmed from the exterior of the vehicle and beyond the vehicle. Edit
-
Notes
ADD NOTES- This episode retains the first appearance of a Batvehicle other than the omnipresent Batmobile. Edit
- The Emergency Remote-Control Ejector Button, first used in this episode, is activated again in The Bookworm Turns. Edit
- This marks the debut appearance of The Batcycle, as an early prototype, constructed from a 1959 Harley Davidson with side car, rented from a Hollywood firm in the business of supplying vehicles for movie and TV productions. A more flashier Batcycle will be seen in the 1966 Batman feature film and used throughout the rest of the TV series' run. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Aunt Harriet Cooper: Batman and Robin dead? What in the world is going to become of us? Alfred Pennyworth: Perhaps that's a better question than you realize, madam. Aunt Harriet Cooper: How I wish Bruce and Dick were here. Maybe they could console me. Alfred Pennyworth: I doubt that very much, Mrs Cooper. I doubt it very much. Edit
- Chief O'Hara: Have you no conscience? Gordon: Great Scot, Penguin. This woman loves you. She's still willing to marry you! Penguin: Who me? The Penguin. Married and kept in a bathtub? Sofia Star: I do love you, Pengy. I'd try so hard to reform you. Penguin: Great quivering icebergs! Take me to prison! (waddles out) Edit
- Chief O'Hara: On the ammunition used in the shootout with Batman and Robin. 297 rounds of ammunition, including Tommy guns and pistols. It's strange, isn't it Commissioner? Gordon: Isn't what strange, Chief O'Hara? Chief: 297 rounds of blanks. They cost more than the real thing. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- The Penguin: Oh, frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! After the Gotham City Police appear to have slain the Dynamic Duo, the Penguin quotes from the nonsense poem "Jabberwocky" originally part of Lewis Carroll's children's novel Through The Looking-Glass which itself is a sequel to his earlier book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.
