Episode Summary

EDIT
The Bird's Last Jest
AIRED:

Happily, The Dynamic Duo's quick thinking and fast reflexes foil The Penguin at this dastardly game, and the pair act as his prosecutors at the ensuing criminal trial. There, The Penguin's spirited, self-destructive defense backfires and he is released once more. Batman and Robin's next ploy is to send Alfred to The Penguin's Nest disguised as master forger Quill-Pen Quertch. However, The Penguin catches on and has the faithful butler rolled into a giant pie.
The diabolical dish is driven to Wayne Manor, where The Penguin threatens to bake the butler unless Bruce Wayne forks over a cool million. Luckily, Bruce and Dick duck out to get the cash, transform themselves into The Dynamic Duo, and save the day. The Penguin and his malodorous Maitres'D reaches the State Pen just in time to discover to their horror that Ballpoint Baxter has been paroled!

      • Take special note of when the Penguin rises to begin his defense in court. As is commonly known, Burgess Meredith developed the Penguin's "quack" to cover up coughing brought on from having to smoke cigarettes again after he had given up doing so nearly 20 years before. Just before he says, "In the immortal words of Emil Zola," Meredith coughs and quickly covers it up with a "quack."

      • This is the last episode in which the Part 2 teaser sequence features stop-motion clips of events from the previous evening's episode; from the next episode on, the teaser in Part 2 will immediately pick up where the previous episode left off.
