Original subtitles

(Narrator) Batman and Robin capture one of the Wizard's men

near a waterfront hideout.

Vicki has come there searching for her brother,

but has been caught.

Batman hears her call for help and...

[Scuffling]

[Man grunting]

That'll locate him.

Look.

[Police siren wailing]

Forget 'em.

They've escaped.

We caught one of them. Robin's got him in the car.

Let me get my camera and I'll get a picture of him.

Forget your camera.

You've had enough excitement for one night.

[Tires screeching]

We'll turn our prisoner over to the police.

I want an enlarged photograph of him.

Something tells me you have a plan.

You're right. I have.

How do I look?

Like his twin brother.

Now, if you can only find where the mob hangs out.

Our prisoner wasn't very talkative,

but I found something on him

that may lead us straight to the Wizard.

There's my admission card.

Come in, Mac.

The boys were just wondering about you.

Yeah. And I'm still wondering.

Oh, you mean this? Yeah.

Batman got me, but he couldn't hold me.

That don't make sense.

I hear the Batman never loses a prisoner

once he's grabbed him.

He lost this one by turning me over to that kid, Robin.

That's who I escaped from.

(Leo) How did you escape the police?

We beat it when we heard their siren.

That was a trick device he had on his car

to scare you guys off.

Well, I'll remember that next time.

All right, fellas, let's get down to business.

Now, I've heard from the Wizard.

He wants 2 men at headquarters

to help him convert the remote control machine

to the new power.

The new power?

Oh, now, don't act dumb, Mac.

You know what I mean.

The stolen X-90 formula.

Oh, yeah... Yeah, that's what I figured.

You can count me in for the job.

What's got into you?

I thought you didn't like visiting headquarters.

This time it's different.

That Batman and Robin are after me.

I can lay low there.

You can deal me out.

I don't want any part of that place.

Now, ain't that too bad?

You're just the one I decided on.

Now, you will go to hideout B,

and stay there until it gets dark.

This place is not safe.

[Car engine starting]

[Tires screeching]

You'd better slow down, Nolan.

We're coming to that alarm gadget in the road.

Right.

You got another cigarette, Mac?

Sorry. This kind only comes one to a pack.

(Karl) Get set for the bump.

[Brakes squealing]

That was it.

That lets the boys know that somebody is coming.

[Brakes squealing]

[Engine stops]

[Car door closes]

Well, I see the alarm worked OK.

Yeah, I knew somebody was on the road.

What happened to you?

Plenty.

Anything to report?

Orders from the Wizard.

We're to catch Barry Brown's next broadcast, without fail.

Well, we can do that.

I planned to stay here until after dark.

What does that mean? More orders?

Maybe.

In the meantime, don't get too nosy, Mac.

It's time for Brown's broadcast.

Turn on the radio.

[Radio clicks]

(Barry) This is Barry Brown

with a few hot tips and cold facts.

While there are no new developments

in the remote control robbery case,

I have exclusive information on an angle

that might soon set off a powder keg.

A key man of the robbery gang has been captured

and is being held incommunicado by the police for questioning.

I will relay to you any information he discloses.

In the meantime, I have learned the prisoner's name.

It is Mac Lacey.

You heard that.

What's it all about?

I don't know. It must have been a mistake.

It was.

And you made it.

You look like Mac, but you can't be.

Who are you?

I'll give you just 10 seconds to answer.

Who are you?

Nolan, look!

The trademark of the Batman.

That means he's outside. Guard this guy.

Sit down.

The Batman's around. Search for him.

[Robin grunting]

He made a break for it.

Just who are you?

I'm a friend of Mac's.

When I heard he was arrested,

I thought I could take his place in your outfit.

Why didn't you say so before?

I didn't think you'd believe me.

I don't.

But I'm going to give you a chance to prove yourself.

How?

Get rid of this pest for me.

That's a deal.

Hold him. Line him up.

You've got 2 shots. Make him count.

And no tricks.

[Robin grunting]

Start a search. We've got to find them.

[Tires screeching]

That was good shooting, Bruce.

You know, this bolt buckle isn't very big.

I was sure it was thick enough to stop the bullet.

Well, it still knocked the wind out of me.

Better keep your eyes open.

They might be tailing us in their car.

[Chuckles] That I want to see.

They'll be working on their car for a week

after what I did to it.

This place is not safe. We got to get out of here.

How far do you think we'd get without a car?

I'd better call headquarters.

Station B calling headquarters.

(Nolan) Station B calling headquarters.

This is headquarters. Go ahead.

We had a couple of visitors but they escaped.

One of them was Batman's assistant, Robin.

The other one tried to bluff us into thinking he was Mac,

but Brown's broadcast spoiled his disguise.

Did you learn who he really was?

(Nolan) No, but I think he's...

You don't think. That's Why you failed.

It was undoubtedly Batman himself.

(Wizard) You've made your final mistake, Nolan.

What do you mean?

I mean I'm going to replace you

before your bungling betrays me to Batman.

Let me talk to one or the others.

This is Holt.

Keep Nolan under guard until I can get rid of him.

I'm liquidating Evans also.

Their fate will be insurance against future mistakes.

Yes, sir. What else?

When did Batman and Robin escape?

(Holt) About 20 minutes ago.

Oh. Then there's still time to offset Nolan's blundering.

What do you want us to do?

Nothing. I'm taking over.

I've managed to get word to Mac in jail.

He's going to trap Batman for me.

I'd have found the Wizard's headquarters by now

if it hadn't been for Brown's broadcast.

He must be in with the Wizard.

Maybe he is the Wizard.

Either that, or a very dangerous snooper.

If we can find out where he gets his tips,

we'll have a valuable clue.

The bat signal.

Commissioner Gordon needs help. Watch out for a telephone.

[Tires screeching]

Yes? (Man) Telephone call, commissioner.

Thank you.

Commissioner Gordon speaking.

This is Batman. Do you want me?

I'll say I do. Mac Lacey talked.

He's just named the next location

where his remote control gang will strike.

(Gordon) The job is to be pulled tonight.

Where?

Some place on Marine Street, along the waterfront.

That's not very definite, but it'll have to do.

I'll be there in 15 minutes.

What's wrong this time?

We'll know the answer to that when we got to Marine Street.

[Tires screeching]

If we only knew what to hunt for.

Marine Street only runs a couple of blocks.

Maybe we can stumble onto a clue.

Like that?

Could be.

They've spotted us.

OK. Inside, quick.

Through that door.

They're not in here.

[Door thudding]

[Banging on door]

[Banging continues]

[Both coughing]

[Coughing]

[Coughing]

(Narrator) What sinister use

does the Wizard plan to make of the remote control machine?

Who is this that the Wizard's men are attacking?

[Narrator speaking]
