High atop one of the hills which ring
the teeming metropolis of Gotham City, a

large house rears its bulk against the
dark sky.

Outwardly, there's nothing to
distinguish this house from many others.

But deep in the cavernous basements of
this house, in a chamber hewn from the

living rock of the mountain, is the
strange, dimly lighted, mysteriously

secret Bat's Cave.

Hidden headquarters of America's number
one crime fighter, Batman.

Yes, Batman.

Clad in the somber costume which has
struck terror to the heart of many a

swaggering denizen of the underworld.

Batman, who even now is pondering the
plans of a new assault against the

forces of crime. A crushing blow against
evil in which he will have the valuable

aid of his young, two-fisted assistant,
Robin the Boy Wonder.

They represent American youth who love
their country and are glad to fight for

it. Wherever crime raises its ugly head
to strike with the venom of a maddened

rattlesnake, that man and Robin strike
also. And in this very hour when the

Axis criminals are spreading their evil
over the world, even within our own

land, that man and Robin stand ready to
fight them to the death.

These boxes are usually locked. I know
it.

Captain Arnold, please.

Captain Arnold speaking.

I have a nice little package for you.

You'll find it at the corner of 1st and
Maple.

Heavenly. Yeah, what's doing, Captain?

It's the Batman again. He's at the
corner of 1st and Maple. This time, I'm

going with you.

Calling car 67.

67.

That's us.

Go to 1st and Maple. Hey.

702.

I'm warning you, Dr. Decker will make
you regret this.

Shut up! Dr. Decker?

Who's that?

Never mind. You'll find out.

Let's wait around and see Captain
Arnold's face when he gets here. No time

for that. Don't forget I've got a date.

Let's go.

You'll recognize these as the last two
men of the Collins gang. I know you've

been looking for them for some time. The
Batman.

P.S. The keys to the handcuffs are in
this one's pocket.

Well, it looks as though the Batman has
done you boys another favor. Yeah.

You ought to put him on a force. You'll
find him. I'll put him on.

I'm just finishing up. I won't be a
minute. Oh, no, hurry. I'll just relax a

moment. It may settle my nerves.

Listen, will you keep your hands out of
there?

You've had your usual busy day, I
suppose.

Yep. Up at the crack of noon, a brisk
walk to the corner, and then the club

for a rugged afternoon of gin rummy.

Maybe you'll be too tired to go with me
tomorrow to meet Uncle Martin.

No, no, I'll be right with you.

Thanks.

Oh, it'll mean so much to him to know
that he still has his friends despite

all that trouble he was in.

Only do me a favor. Let's not start too
early. I'm always tired in the morning.

All right.

You're liable to carry that masquerade
too far.

Think so?

Yes, I do.

Why don't you let her know who you
really are instead of letting her think

you're just a good-for-nothing playboy?

Well, if she knew I was the Batman, she
might worry.

Not that she cares anything about me.

Besides, on account of our special
assignment from Uncle Sam, our success

depends on keeping our identity a
secret.

And suppose she asks you about your
status in the Army?

Well, I always tell her I'm a 4F.

That was fast.

Well, I don't keep people waiting like
someone I know.

Hey, boy, paper.

The Batman is certainly marvelous, isn't
he? Oh, I think he's a show-off.

Oh, everybody that does anything is a
show-off to you.

I can do things, too. I'll show you.

I'll call for you tomorrow and take you
to meet your uncle no matter how early

you want to leave, even if it's before
noon.

It's nice of you to make such a terrific
sacrifice on my account.

Looks like Warren.

Yeah, that's him.

My old cellmate.

Hiya, Marty, old boy.

Why, hello, Foster. I don't... I know,
you didn't think your old pal would

remember you, did you? Well, I'm
expecting my niece to pick me up. Your

niece? Oh, sure, I know.

That's what we came to tell you. She
couldn't make it. We're going to take

you to her. Come on.

My niece in that car.

You're seeing things, Marty.

Stop the car.

Pipe down, Marty.

You're going with us.

I'll sit back and relax.

Why, what do you want from me?

You'll find out soon enough.

Has Mr.

Warren left already?

Yes, ma'am. Two men met him when they
drove off in a black sedan.

Thank you.

He drove away with some men in that
black sedan we passed back on the road.

Well, get in. We'll catch him before he
gets back to town. Get going, Alfred.

Very good, sir.

I can't understand why Uncle Marty
didn't wait for us.

Hey, that car with the demon is right
back of us.

Step on it.

We'll see if they're tailing us.

They're speeding up, sir.

Drive a little faster, Alfred. They're
trying to lose us.

I have a strange feeling that Uncle
Martin is in some kind of trouble.

They're gaining on us.

Can't you get any more speed out of this
jalopy?

Do you think we can catch them?

Sure, but I hope we catch them before
some speed cop catches us.

They're out of sight.

Release the gas and make the change.

give us a tumble.

Well, let him try to figure that one
out.

They've disappeared, sir.

No side roads.

They just seem to have vanished.

Well, Linda, I guess your uncle wasn't
interested in seeing us.

I can't understand his actions.

Well, I guess the only thing to do is to
go back to the hospital and wait for him

to phone me. Yeah, and find out how he
did that disappearing act.

I'd like to pull it sometime when my
creditors are after me.

This was part of a foreign land
transplanted bodily to America and known

as Little Tokyo.

Since a wise government rounded up the
shifty-eyed Japs, it has become

virtually a ghost street where only one
business survives, eking out a

precarious existence on the dimes of
curiosity seekers.

Now, this exhibit, my friend, was
created by artists that know, artists

who have created some of the finest wax
exhibits in all of England and France.

Now, the price of admission is only 10
cents, plus one cent tax per Uncle Sam.

to have any trouble with you, Marty, are
we?

Now you're being smart. It's
educational.

All right, gentlemen, ride up these
steps. And if when you come out you

don't face the greatest exhibit you ever
saw, I'll refund your money.

All right, folks, who's next?

Just a minute, folks.

I know you two want to ride low.

I'm in,

Mr.

Warren.

The League of the New Order extends a
cordial welcome to an honored guest.

The League of the New Order?

Yes, a group of men, all of them
dishonored like yourself.

I'm not a criminal.

I was convicted, yes, and sent to
prison.

But if the truth were known... The fact
remains that you have been dishonored.

Exactly like our friend Mr. Fletcher
here. An excellent architect, brilliant

engineer. Except that some of his
buildings did not quite come up to.

specifications. May I also present Mr.
Marshall, Preston, and Wallace.

Now, they are... What do you want of me?

I am Dr.

Ducker, humble servant of His Majesty
Hirohito, heavenly ruler and prince of

the rising sun.

By divine destiny, my country shall
destroy the democratic forces of evil

and to unite the states to make way for
the new order.

An order that will bring about the
liberation of the enslaved people of

America. Each of these men, dishonored
by your corrupt form of government, is a

specialist in his line. And have been
especially selected by me to execute the

orders I received from Tokyo.

We need an industrialist to round out
our circle. That is why I've selected

you. If you cooperate with us
willingly...

You shall share in the glorious victory
soon to be ours.

And if I refuse?

You have no choice but to accept.

You will work with us or be compelled to
work for us. Therefore, it should be

very plain to you that you should be
willing to help serve my glorious

emperor.

Listen, Dacca, for whatever your name
is, I owe my allegiance to no country or

order but my own.

I'm an American first and always, and no
amount of torture conceived by your

twisted, oriented brain will make me
change my mind.

But you are laboring under a great
misapprehension.

I do not believe in anything so barbaric
as torture.

choice for the position you are about to
assume.

Unfortunately, he too attempted to
resist the inevitable.

Bob, old man, don't you know me?

What have you done to him?

Deprived him of his ability to think.

I have converted him into a zombie. He
can only act as I direct.

You will notice the metal headpiece from
which a wire leads to the spine.

Now, Mr. Warren, I would like you to
look at this special microphone.

The only means of communication with a
zombie.

When I speak into it, this slave gets
the impulses through the headpiece and

obeys my wishes.

By this means, I have him carry out my
orders no matter how far he is from me.

Interesting, isn't it?

Well, return to your station.

What is your answer?

It's still the same.

Marshal Foster.

Take him to my electronic laboratory.

Patton Jones, the door.

I'm going to destroy your brain at this
time because you have information which

I must have while you still have your
memory.

I'll tell you nothing.

Fletcher. Fletcher. Sir.

Have you ever heard of the truth serum,
Mr. Warren?

It's one of the New Order's favorite
weapons.

Mr. Warren, you're one of the men who
went down to Gotham City Foundation.

Therefore, you should be able to give me
the information which I need.

How much radium have they on hand at the
Gotham City Foundation?

Several grams.

Where do they keep it? In the safe
behind the picture in Dr. Boyd's

dispenser. Do you know the combination?

No, I do not.

Preston, lock him up.

Fortunately, I do not have to have the
combination.

How are we going to crack it?

What do you want that radium for?

I will show you.

Gentlemen, this is the new order's
secret weapon. Marshal, give me a

capsule.

This weapon employs an infinitesimal
amount of radium.

It is a small yet deadly forerunner of
the atom smasher, which, when perfected,

will smash anything that lies in our way
to victory.

I promise to demonstrate this
destructive effect.

Step over this way, gentlemen, if I were
you.

Foster, I want you particularly to see
this.

There are several adjustments for power
on this weapon.

However, the weakest will suffice for
this operation.

But then step back and observe.

Now watch what happens to that solid
block of...

Why, sure.

With more radium, we can build a weapon
bigger than that gun.

Exactly.

We can build a lethal mechanism so
destructive as to make retaliation by

the United Nations impossible.

However, this weapon will suffice to
open the safe at the Gotham City

Foundation.

And I am giving you that design.

We've been back over an hour and we
haven't called yet. Oh, don't worry

about your uncle. I'm sure... and he'll
call you sometime today and explain why

he didn't wait for us. Maybe he's in
concert or something.

If you'd gotten up a little bit earlier
this morning, we would have been there

in time to meet him.

From now on, I'm turning over a new
leaf. I'm going to be very dependable.

Seems to me I've heard that line before.
Well, this time I mean it. You just tell

me what to do and I'll do it.

All right.

The first thing both of you can do is to
get out of here and let me get my work

done. Dr. Borden's going to be here any
minute and I've got an awful lot of time

to do.

Never mind the details. We can take a
hint. Wait, I've got an idea.

Why not call the prison? Maybe the guard
there knows who the men were that met

your uncle.

Why, that's a splendid idea.

See, I'm beginning to be dependable
already.

I don't mind robbing the safe, but what
have we got to take this zombie with us

for?

One reason is he's strong as a bull.

Another is that Dackard can switch on
that magic eye and watch him.

Us too, if we're close enough to him.

Maybe we're going to double-cross him,
is he?

He's probably got that set focused on us
right now.

very much.

The car doesn't know who the men were.

Well, there goes that idea.

Well, we'd better get out of here and
let Linda get her work done.

Goodbye for now.

Bye-bye.

Everything's on schedule.

There goes Brennan with the truck.

Look, that's the car we were chasing
this morning.

Sure looks like it. Those three men just
delighted from it, sir.

And Martin Warren isn't with them.

Come on, I have an idea that Batman
should look into this.

And don't forget Robin.

Alfred, drive into that alley and put
the top up. Yes, sir.

Hacker in the other room.

What's going on here?

Why, Dr.

Hayden, my old colleague, what are you
doing here?

A

laundry

bag. Get something to stuff it with.
Right.

Let's get out of here.

The

Batman.

Come on.

Get him.

Behind the chimp.

I want the police here quickly.

If it takes so long, go ahead.

Dr. Dackett, the cops are heading for
the hospital.

Did you get the radio?

Yeah. I got the stuff. It's in the
truck.

I'm starting back now.

Return at once.

Hadn't left the roof.

Hadn't left the roof.

Doctor, the sinister Jap spy, believes
Linda knows the whereabouts of the

powerful radium gun. And what about
Linda? Can she escape his evil clutches?

Don't fail to see The Bat's Cave,
Chapter 2 of Batman, at this theater

next week.
