(Narrator) Threatened with death by the invisible Wizard,

commissioner Gordon calls on Batman and Robin for aid.

With Vicki, they meet in his office,

and as the appointed hour approaches...

It's 2:00.

Sergeant, I want a complete check on all entrances.

Batman, look out!

[Gun fires]

Are you all right?

Sure. Did you get anything, Vicki?

If the infra-red bulb worked, I did.

Fine. Take it to the police laboratory and have it developed.

Right.

Do you think she got a picture of the invisible Wizard?

I hope so.

Now, I want you to have every car

that's parked in this vicinity checked immediately.

He must have come in a car and he'll try to leave in one.

Sergeant, check every car in this vicinity.

May I see your driver's license?

Yeah, sure.

You're under arrest.

What for?

For being a member of the Wizard's gang.

You can't prove it.

We picked you up once before.

You got away. Remember?

Tell the commissioner we've found the car.

Come on.

Yeah?

Good work.

One of the Wizard's men has been picked up in a car,

a block from here.

Then the Wizard will be without transportation.

We still won't be able to see him.

Unless the invisibility wears off after a while.

He'll need help. He might try to phone for it.

Have the telephone company listen in on every call

from pay stations in this vicinity.

It's a big job.

I know it is. But there's a chance

they might intercept a call from our invisible enemy.

Sergeant, get me the wire chief of the local exchange,

and send Graber in here.

[Footsteps pattering]

(Wizard) This is the Wizard.

Connect me with Neil at headquarters.

[Telephone buzzing]

[Machine humming]

Headquarters.

(Wizard) This is the Wizard.

Jason has been arrested.

I have no transportation.

I'll send another car.

No. It would only be captured.

The police are alert.

My only chance is to remain invisible.

So it's essential that you must keep the machines at full power.

I'll try, but the remote control machine

is heating up dangerously.

You'll do as I say.

Do you wish me to be captured?

(Neil) Of course not.

Then keep the machines in operation.

Try to contact one of our cars.

Tell it to meet me on Ocean Boulevard,

South of the city line.

When you've done that, call me back here.

The number is main-2341. Hurry!

OK.

Someone who claims he's the Wizard,

is making a call from the phone booth

in the lobby of 616, Main Street.

All cars in the vicinity of 616, main street:

Invisible man, the Wizard,

there now, in phone booth in lobby.

[Siren wailing]

That is all.

Why don't we go?

We can't do any more than the police are doing right now.

Here's your invisible man.

Good work, Vicki.

(Robin) Who is it?

(Vicki) Carter?

(Gordon) He's dead.

Well, it's still Carter. How can that be?

I have an idea.

Robin, remember that cliff over the ocean?

Sure, we followed the Wizard and his men there twice and then lost 'em.

Take the car and get down there fast.

Find a place to hide and see what happens.

Don't follow anyone.

I just want to know how they disappear.

When you find out, radio me.

Right.

That's all, Graber, thanks.

(Graber) Yes, sir.

[Ringing]

(Wizard) Nolan?

[Siren wailing]

Very good. I'll meet the car there.

[Brakes screeching]

That's all. I must go.

[Siren wailing]

[Tires screeching]

What's the matter?

Why, there was nobody driving that car

that just pulled out of here.

Aw, there must have been.

You better have your eyes examined.

But I tell you, there wasn't.

Somebody took our car.

Well, I just saw it going down the street with nobody driving.

Fingerprints were taken of everyone concerned,

when the remote control machine was stolen.

Uh, here. These are Carter's.

Check these with the prints of the man we thought was Carter.

Right.

[Intercom buzzes]

Yes.

(Man) Telephone, commissioner.

Gordon speaking.

All right, go ahead.

A stolen radio car is being pursued

along Ocean Boulevard.

It's presumably being driven by the invisible man.

Road blocks are being set up ahead of it.

Good. That'll give rob in more time.

Fine, thanks.

[Tires screeching]

[Machine rattling]

[Leaves rustling]

[Exclaims]

[Machine crackling]

[Siren wailing]

[Rustling]

Fine.

The invisible man broke through the roadblock,

but has abandoned his car.

Get me some men and a car. I'll head Robin's direction.

The car will be ready in 10 seconds.

Good.

(Gordon) Sergeant...

Hold it!

Going somewhere?

Yeah, any law against it?

Maybe there is.

We caught her snooping around.

Get rid of her.

What'll we do with her?

If she came in a car... Use your head.

Robin to Batman. Robin to Batman.

(Robin) Come in, Batman.

This is Batman. Come in.

I've discovered the Wizard's getaway.

It's on a cliff over the ocean.

Stand by. We're on our way.

Step on it.

[Accelerating]

[Car approaching]

[Brakes screeching]

Turn around.

Are you all right? Yes.

Where's Robin?

I followed him here.

I guessed that. Where is he now?

He took the path toward the cliff.

Untie me, please.

I haven't got the time. You'll be all right. Don't go away.

Oh, you...

They went through here.

This looks like a trapdoor.

[Gasps]

Not so fast.

You're gonna take us back to Wizard's headquarters.

I can't do that.

Oh, yes you can.

All right, all right!

[Continuous whistling]

[Whistling stops]

[Machine buzzing]

Batman!

[Walloping]

[Machine buzzing]

[Buzzing stops]

Batman, you've got me cornered at last.

Are you admitting that you're the Wizard, professor?

Yes. I'm ready to make a full confession.

What part did you have in all this, Carter?

My twin brother and I merely took orders

from professor Hammil.

Then it was your twin brother who was killed.

That's right. By Hammil.

Yes. I did it after arranging things,

so that you would think the Wizard was dead.

You overlooked one point.

The dead man's fingerprints were not Carter's.

And now professor,

it's my duty to take you to police headquarters.

You, Carter, are the Wizard.

You forced Hammil to make that confession

by threatening his life.

That's right.

commissioner Gordon wants to see you.

Then professor Hammil Didn't know

that Carter had a twin brother?

No, while the brother was acting Hammil's attendant,

Carter was carrying on as the Wizard.

Then he got rid of his brother when it suited his purpose.

Well, I don't understand the submarine set-up.

The sub made a circular tour any way it began,

in a grotto, leading from the basement of Hammil's house.

It's odd that Hammil never knew about that.

He was too absorbed in his scientific experiments,

in a secret workshop he entered through a panel.

Batman, you've done a great job

in uncovering the Wizard.

Our citizens owe you a debt of gratitude.

Robin and miss Vale have done their share, too.

Will you do me a favor?

Why, certainly.

I'm going to have dinner with Bruce Wayne.

Will you join us?

That's very nice of you.

Then you'll come?

Of course.

(Gordon) There's one detail to be cleared up.

How did Barry Brown get the information he broadcast?

From the Wizard.

I think he was using Brown without his knowledge.

[Intercom buzzing]

Yes?

(Man) The reporters are waiting for a statement.

I'll be right out, sergeant. Pardon me, please.

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

(Bruce) Is miss Vale there?

Just a moment. It's for you.

Hello?

(Bruce) Vicki, I'm sorry, I... I can't keep our date.

I need a vacation, I'm leaving town for a week.

You understand, don't you?

Oh, of course, Bruce.

You must be completely worn out.

You know, I thought I had discovered your identity,

but I just found out I was wrong.

Really? Who did you think I was?

Bruce Wayne. Wasn't that silly?

Yes. Wasn't it?

[All laughing]
