Dockers hirelings seek to steal the map of a rich radium mine.

But Batman, suspecting the plot, beats him to the punch.

Get out of here before that chemical reaches these wires.

Rose! Rose!

Alfred, come here. I found it.

Oh, sir.

These beams formed an arch and protected you. You're indeed most fortunate, sir.

You think that half of it is better than none at all, Alfred?

Oh! Oh!

I forgot. We'd better phone Colton right away.

Yes, those men will probably try again.

If I had to have a nurse, why didn't they send someone that knew how to play

cards? I'm sorry. Yeah, I know you're sorry. You're always sorry. You're the

sorriest man I ever knew.

Bruce, is Martin Warren with you?

No, but my hunch was right. It was a trick to get your claim papers.

So these crooks don't seem to take no for an answer, eh?

That's right, and they'll probably pay you another visit. So be prepared and

don't admit anyone to your room till we get back.

They caught me napping once, but I'll be all ready for them this time.

That's good.

We've got to stop off and make a report to the police, then we'll be right over.

Goodbye.

I hope that bunch of crooks do come back.

You'll find they ain't playing with a kid.

Come here.

Hold this coat for me, will you?

I've been up against a lot tougher humbres than that bunch of tin horns

ever thought of being.

What's the matter? A little gun-shy, eh?

Don't worry. I've been handling this little toy for 20 years.

Come here.

Let me show you something.

See that?

That's my little black widow.

She's only got two bites, but both of them are fatal.

Give me a hand with my coat.

Now, you see, you can't see a thing.

But when I need her, I just do this.

There she is.

Say, that's pretty good.

Pretty good nothing.

That's perfect.

So you see, son, I need a nurse about as much as I need a hole in my head. So you

just breeze along.

And I'll be glad to see you sometime.

But I hope you'll learn how to play peanutball.

It's too bad you didn't let us look into this instead of taking it on yourself to

investigate. We only went there on a hunch.

facts to give you.

Say, this looks like one of them.

Yeah, it does.

Ah, that's Sam Fletcher, a former civil engineer.

He did a stretch in the state pen. They released him about a year ago. No record

of him since.

I'll have Fletcher picked up, and then when you meet him face to face, you can

tell whether he was one of the men who attacked you. Well, thanks, Captain.

Give me a ring any time. You bet.

Send Everly in here.

He's awake.

Come in.

Stand where you are and state your business.

I must be in the wrong room.

I'm looking for a patient, Mr.

Colton. I'm Colton. I don't look very sick, do I?

No, you don't. That is, physically, anyway.

What's your name and who sent you here?

I'm Dr.

Franklin, Dr. Henry Franklin.

Miss Linda Page asked me to call on you. I thought you expected me.

I'm awful sorry I scared you, Doc, but Miss Page didn't tell me she was sending

you. Well, I can see that you don't need a doctor. I might as well run along.

All right.

But as long as I'm here... Why don't you just let me give you a quick checkup?

I'm going to have to make a report to Miss Page, and I can't lie to her. Well,

on one condition.

Don't try to give me any pills. That's fair enough.

If you'll just sit down now and relax.

You know, Doc, women are funny creatures.

Always worried about a man's health.

That's right.

Now, if you'll just open your mouth, please.

Here we go.

Fine thing he's not here and after promising to wait for us. Maybe he

couldn't keep that promise Give me the desk, please Hello, did mr. Colton leave

word where he was going when he went out?

You're no hospital. They took him to Thank you Took him to a hospital in an

ambulance clerk didn't find out which hospital it was I guess you'd better

call all the hospitals in town try and find out you won't find him in any

hospital Do you smell that peculiar odor?

Yes, I do. That means Colton was drugged so he could be carried out of here.

Here's something.

That's it, all right.

And they used this to administer the drug.

That's no clue. You can't get fingerprints off Lennon. We may find

some other marks that'll be of use. Let's get back to our lab.

Well, so this is the great Mr. Colton, huh?

Dr. Fletcher.

Smelling sauce, please.

If there are any laundry marks on this that have been washed out, we'll be able

to clean them by means of this new blacklight process.

See that mark on the upper corner?

It's a Japanese laundry mark.

I never heard of a Japanese laundry.

I know of one. It's downtown the warehouse district.

We'll go down there tonight and have a look around.

The claim papers are in a safe deposit vault where you can get your thieving

hands on. We do not need the papers.

After you have shown us your mind, we will file a claim for it.

Yeah? Well, I'll never show it to you. Perhaps a little demonstration will

convince our stubborn friend that his decision is very unwise.

Martin Warren, come into the council room.

Martin Warren?

Yes. Look at the third panel.

Martin.

Your old friend Warren.

He too was stubborn at first, but we soon cured him of that.

Warren, step forward and let your friend look at you.

Martin.

Martin.

Don't you know me, your old friend, Ken Colton?

Why, and show him how strong you are.

Stop it, Wyatt. Let him sit down.

Now, go to the door.

Where you have your choice.

You can either show us the mind of your own free will or we will convert you

into a zombie like your friend Juan.

All right.

I'll do as you say.

A very wise decision.

Don't close that door.

Put your hands up.

Keep your back to me.

Tell him to drop the guns.

Drop the guns, gentlemen.

It's around the corner, but I think we'd better leave the car here.

What are we coming to this dump for?

Zach has got some supplies cast away. Here we'll leave tomorrow when we go to

Colton's mine. Well, let's make it snappy.

Time for the Batman and Robin to take over. Shall we go over the fence?

No, the roost will be easier.

No!

That thing would be at the top floor. Come on, we're going upstairs.

I ought to finish him. Well, if that doesn't, this will.

Dacker has Colton in his zombie chair.

Will he force him to give up the radium mine?

And there are Linda and Alfred in Colton's cabin.

What's going on there?

Don't fail to see Lured by Radium, Chapter 8 of Batman, at this theater

next week.
