Episode Recap

As luck would have it, a well-timed solar eclipse occurs just as the sun is about to barbecue our heroes. They shift the magnifying glasses with their feet so that the returning sun will now burn off their bonds. Back at the Batcave, The Dynamic Duo deduce The Catwoman's next objective and rush to The Gotham State Building and discover a momentous sale of Zubin Zucchini's 2 rare stradivarius violins for $250,000 each. The Gotham State Building's 102nd floor is the only place in Gotham City with the proper altitude and humidity to inspect the violins, which haven't been out of their cases in 30 years and might crack in the improper atmosphere. The Catwoman covets them for the 8 pieces of catgut attatched to them!
Meanwhile, Catwoman has overcome rich, old recluse Minerva Mathews with gas. Disguised as Matthews, Catwoman replaces her as the purchaser of the violins. Catwoman goes to the 102nd floor, disabling the elevators behind her and greedily trying to snatch the 2 violins from Zucchini, only to find that he is actually Robin in disguise! He is immediately overpowered by Catmen; John, Charles, and Thomas and crooked gossip columnist Jack O'Shea, who reveals their mode of escape: a getaway rocket!

On the first floor, Batman attatches his new Batjets to one of the stalled elevators which sends him and the elevator to the top floor in no time. He arrives in time to rescue the outnumbered Boy Wonder, just as he is about to be tossed out the window by O'Shea and The Catmen. The Duo dispose of the men and Batman finds Catwoman outside on the ledge attempting a getaway with the money and violins. Batman secures one end of his Batrope, tosses the other end to a frightened Catwoman and tells her to drop the violins and money and tie thr rope around her waist. Suddenly O'Shea recovers and shoves Batman out the window! The Boy Wonder sends O'Shea back into dreamland with a generous right cross and finding The Caped Crusader has grabbed hold of his Batrope, he and Catwoman are hanging onto each other for dear life. He then single-handedly pulls them to safety. In Gordon's office, prior to her being taken to the pen, Catwoman rewards Batman with a simple rub on the cheek.
