That man persuades the authorities to pay the ransom demanded by the wizard to

release his control over the railroads That man has made the money radioactive

Enabling him to trace it to a warehouse

Bye. Bye.

Somebody hit me from behind.

What started the fire?

The radioactive money burst into flames.

Then the wizard won't get his ransom money. No, he won't. There's liable to

be more trouble.

It's done, the private detective.

What are you doing around here, Dunn?

Oh, just looking around.

Are you sure that's all?

Maybe I should ask why Barry Brown, radio announcer, is snooping around

here. I'm just looking for some spot news.

You haven't given me any lately.

You've been doing all right.

Either of those men could be the wizard.

Yeah, but so could Professor Hamill. He invented the machine that caused all the

trouble. But he's a wheelchair invalid.

Yeah, but he could still be the brains.

Leave it on the desk Carter.

Don't you want me to serve it sir? No, I'm not hungry get out very good, sir

Start the power so the machine will warm up.

I'll prove to them that I'm ready to strike back.

You're going to make them pay twice as much after the way they crossed you up

on that money deal.

Before I'm through with them, they'll be glad to meet any terms I name.

I've stopped the railroads.

Now I'll demoralize all traffic.

What's wrong with it? The power it develops is too strong for its working

parts.

In this section where the greatest friction is, the diamond bearings are

burnt out.

Commissioner? Hello, Bruce. How are you, Vicki? Hello.

Would you join us for lunch? No, thanks. I won't have time.

You know, Bruce, you have a much better head than most people realize.

I'm certainly glad Vicki heard you say that. His head's all right. He just

doesn't use it enough.

Bruce, I'd like to get your opinion on something.

Certainly, Commissioner.

Why do you suppose the wizard has stopped using his remote control

machine? Maybe it's out of order.

You may be right, but there's still a chance he can repair it. He'll certainly

try, since the machine is his main offensive weapon.

And that suggests more robberies.

Possibly synthetic diamonds.

Very good.

Tell your contacts he'll be rewarded for the information.

I'll inform you later of my plan.

I've located a new supply of synthetic diamonds.

Where is it? The Research Council has developed a new type which resists heat

and friction better than the real ones.

I'll take a great deal of strategy to get them.

Thanks for the lunch.

It was a pleasure, Vicki.

Oh, I hope that's something exciting for me to cover.

We'd better get out of here before we get roped in on something.

Vicki Vale speaking.

Jimmy.

It's your brother.

Where are you? What kind of trouble? I can't talk much.

I need help.

Is this another trick to trap me?

Oh, I swear it isn't, Vicki.

You've got to come here and help me.

All right, where are you?

All right, I'll be right there.

Vicki? I wonder how she got out of here. You got me.

It's a harbor club. That means trouble.

Batman and Robin have got to follow through.

I'm glad you made it, sis.

Hurry up. The guard will be back any minute. Why didn't you call me before

this? I'll tell my story at police headquarters.

It's important for them to know what's going on.

Well, I'll take you there.

Come on.

What are you gonna do with me turn you over to the police?

Come in Batman you're just in time to hear Jimmy Vail story good.

I just brought in another of the Wizards men fine Sergeant have Batman's prisoner

question and bring me a complete report Now veil, how did you get in with the

Wizards outfit?

I thought I was being hired as a pilot for a chartered flight.

It took me a little while to find out what was going on.

Did you ever meet the wizard?

No, but first I took my orders from a man named Nolan.

Afterwards was a man named Neil. Neil? Yeah, go ahead. Well, the wizard is

planning another big job.

His remote control machine broke down because the diamond insets burned out.

Bruce was right, Vicki.

Go on.

Well, Neil said that he heard the research council was making synthetic

diamonds. They plan to attack the place tomorrow.

I'll put a stop to that now.

How? I'll have the diamonds moved to the main plant.

As long as you don't intend to question Jim any further, I suggest you release

him to the custody of his sister.

That's a good idea.

I'll still want you as a material witness.

Anytime. I've got a long account to settle with that bunch. Thank you,

Commissioner. Come on, Jimmy.

Oh, I've got to rush these negatives over to the enlarging room.

Go ahead, sis. I'll hang around here. I'll be right back.

Thank you, Ty.

Vail?

This is Jimmy Vail.

Gordon fell for the story. He's having the diamonds moved this afternoon.

Okay. I'll wait till I hear from you. Goodbye.

Hello, Albert.

Commissioner Gordon, put him on.

Hello, Commissioner. What's on your mind?

He's telling me about the prisoner Batman brought in.

Well, that's most unusual.

I don't know, but I'll think it over.

Thanks for telling me.

Goodbye.

The man who was guarding Jimmy had blanks in his gun.

Blanks? Why?

Maybe he wasn't supposed to shoot Jimmy.

I don't get it.

Maybe they wanted him to escape and tell that story.

Batman and Robin had better get right over to that synthetic diamond plant.

Have the synthetic diamonds left here yet? Yes, a few minutes ago.

Head up to the research plant.

Thanks.

Are you injured?

I'm all right. They plugged me. Did they get the diamonds?

Yes. Yes, they did.

It's got a big bleed on it. It may turn off anywhere.

I realize that.

This road leads to that secret getaway of theirs near the ocean. I'm betting

they'll go there.

There's a car coming up fast behind us. Looks like Batman's.

It is Batman's. Call headquarters and tell the wizard.

Car 4 calling headquarters.

This is headquarters.

Come in, Car 4.

I don't know how he got there, but Batman's close on our trail.

What is your location?

About ten miles south of town on Highway 18.

Very good.

I'll take care of Batman.

The wizard's using his remote control machine on us. No chance to catch those

diamond thieves now.

Maybe we can borrow this one.

Batman. Robert.

That's right. We're after some jewel thieves, but our car's been disabled.

May we use yours? Sure. Hop in.

No, I meant we'll take yours and you stay here with ours. There might be

trouble. Well, trouble don't bother me none.

But if that's the way you feel about it, take her and welcome.

If anything happens to it, the police will give you another one.

Tell them to get me one with a red light and a siren on it, will you?

Car trailing us.

Moving fast, too.

Call headquarters.

Car 4 calling headquarters.

Headquarters, come in, Car 4.

There's another car trailing us. Can you look it over through your televiewer?

Yes. Stand by.

Batman and Robin are in that car.

Batman's too clever for his own good.

This time I'll do more than stop him.

This ought to be good.

Has Jimmy Vale at last broken with the Wizardsmen? What bold move of the

Wizards is this?

Next week in this theater, see the plot unfold further in Batman's Last Chance.
