(Narrator) By a clever ruse,
the Wizard's men learn where Morton,
the inventor, has hidden his secret formula.
They go after it.
Batman and Robin trail them to Morton's office.
Look!
Watch 'em!
This is Morton's formula. Let's get out of here.
[Grunts]
(Nolan) Come on.
Batman's pal was just here.
Never mind him. We got what we came for.
Gettin' out of here is more important. Come on.
We'll separate.
Jason, you and Ives take the other car with Dan. Right.
Batman!
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right.
One of them bounced an iron bar off my head.
You didn't tangle with that switchboard, did you?
No. The iron bar must have caused a short circuit.
Did those men get Morton's formula? I don't know.
I heard one of 'em say they got what they came after.
Then they got it.
They must have escaped through the other building.
Maybe we can head them off.
You can't go in there!
Well, I'm Vicki Vale, of Picture Magazine.
Vicki Vale, eh?
Well, I'm officer Murphy of the patrol bureau.
You still can't go in there.
[Car engine starts]
[Police siren wailing]
The men you're after are getting away through that building.
They're in a car, heading down 4th St.!
[Police siren wailing]
Car 4 to headquarters, emergency!
Car 4 to headquarters!
Go ahead, car 4.
We have Morton's formula.
But there's a police car trailing us.
Turn into the alley South of Oak St., as planned.
I'll start the robot car by remote control.
Right.
Into the alley as planned, Jimmy.
OK.
[Siren continues wailing]
[Machine humming]
[Tires screeching]
[Brakes screeching]
What do you make of that?
It was operated by remote control.
That proves the Wizard engineered the whole operation.
What about the picture that photographer girl snapped?
Might help the cops identify us.
We'll have to get it.
That's up to Jimmy. She's his sister.
Leave me out of this.
You don't want anything to happen to her, do you, Jimmy?
Nothing better. She doesn't know I'm hooked up with you.
That's fine.
You can tell her any story she'll believe.
But get that negative and any prints she made.
[Phone rings]
Hello.
(Jimmy) Hello, Vicki.
Jimmy.
Look, I just developed that negative and made a print of it.
You were driving that car!
Listen sis, I'm in a jam.
Don't show that photograph to anybody till I see you.
Jimmy, where are you? Why don't you come here?
Well, I'll explain everything when I see you.
Meet me right away.
In the picnic grounds at Graham's park.
Bring the negative and any prints you made of it.
But, Jimmy, I...
You want me to get out of this jam, don't you?
Oh, of course, I do.
All right then, do what I say.
Don't talk to the police, and don't bring anybody with you.
Meet me in the park.
[Phone disconnects] But Jimmy... Jimmy!
It's all set. She'll meet me.
I'll take over from here.
Now, you promised she wouldn't be hurt.
She won't be,
if she brings that negative and any prints she made from it.
Well, what do you think I should do about it, Bruce?
The only thing to do is to meet your brother and hear his story.
Well, I hardly needed to come here for that advice.
What else could I say? You already had your mind made up in advance.
Well, thanks anyway, Bruce.
Good night, Vicki. Good night.
Does that setup sound right to you?
No, it doesn't.
And Batman and Robin had better look into it.
Jimmy? Who are you?
your brother couldn't get here.
He sent me to get the negative.
I'll give it only to Jimmy.
Yeah?
[Brakes screeching]
[Batman punching]
[Groans]
Come on.
[Panting] Thanks for your help.
Where's the negative?
It burned.
Well, maybe it's just as well.
Help miss Vale to her car.
Thank you.
(Bruce) There's the charred negative.
What's that?
It's known as aerolic red.
It'll restore the molecular structure of the charred film.
Hand me the camera.
You really think this'll work?
We can hope, Dick.
I'm using infrared plates.
There it is, Dick.
But who's the man with Jimmy Vale?
I don't know him.
I'll have to check through my rogues' gallery.
You may go now, Carter.
Are you sure you won't need me, prof. Hammil?
Of course, I'm sure!
Very good, sir.
Door closes]
[Door closes]
I was hoping it might be one of the men we've been watching.
Like Brown. Like Dunne, the private eye.
Or even the eccentric scientist, Hammil.
But he's confined to a wheelchair.
Yes, that's true.
[Chair humming]
[Electronic buzzing]
Did you get the negative?
Yes, I burned it. And the print, too.
You're sure of that?
Yes, I'm sure.
Get rid of Jimmy Vale.
He is a good pilot. We need him.
I'll make you responsible for him.
Now, watch him closely.
[Phone rings]
Hello?
(Jimmy) This is Jimmy. Listen, sis...
Well, that was a fine trick you played on me.
I... I'm sorry, Vicki. I'll explain someday.
Are you all right?
Yes, thanks to Batman.
Look Jimmy, where are you? Why don't you come here?
Never mind where I am. I'm leaving town right away.
Goodbye, Vicki.
But Jimmy... Jimmy.
Hello, Florence?
Look, trace this call I just had, will you? It's urgent.
And call me back, right away. Yeah.
[Phone ringing]
Hello?
The Harbor Club on Seaside Avenue.
OK, thanks.
Here's the man, Mac Lacey. Police record.
Hangs out on the waterfront. Frequents the Harbor Club.
Mac Lacey is about to be interviewed by the Batman.
I came here to find my brother.
He skipped out on us.
Maybe, if we hold her, he'll come back.
That's a good idea.
You won't get away with this.
I think we will.
(Batman) That's our man.
Batman!
That hurt.
Take her to the boat.
Where's Gabe? He'll meet us at the dock.
[Screaming]
Watch him!
[Vicki screaming]
[Bullet whistles]
[Batman punching]
[Men grunting]
That'll locate him.
(Narrator) Who is this stranger
who has penetrated the Wizard hideout?
What new danger does Robin face?
