Batman and Robin take in a new partner.

Introducing Ivon Craig as Batgirl.

Gotham City, like any other large

metropolis, abounds in girls of all

shapes and sizes. gutants, nurses,

stenographers, and librarians like this

librarian in the Gotham City Library. As

the closing hour nears, finishing a

service for a very distinguished

customer,

Millionaire Bruce Wayne.

Here we are, Mr. Wayne. I'm sorry it

took so long. This is the only book on

the Blue Monarch Heliconius butterfly

that's still in print.

I certainly appreciate your trouble.

You're new here, aren't you?

Yes, I just started working here

recently. But it isn't as if we're

complete strangers, Mr. Wayne.

Oh,

I'm Commissioner Gordon's daughter.

Oh, yes. He did say that he had a

daughter away at college. I'm afraid

he's kept you under wraps far too long.

Thank you. Um, isn't that your youthful

ward, Dick Grayson, talking to the

gentleman at the table?

Yes. Yes, it is. And the other gentleman

is my millionaire friend Roger Montro,

the famous explorer and lepodopterist.

Mhm. I'm checking out this book to prove

a point to him.

Well, thank you very much. And good

night.

Good night, Mr. Wayne.

Oh, that Mr. Wayne.

So handsome, so rich.

Yes, Agnes. And he's a bachelor.

Here it is, Roger.

If we're going to kidnap a millionaire,

kill him off. Why not Bruce Wayne? He's

standing right there.

No, he's too good a friend of Batman's.

Better the other millionaire sitting at

that table. Roger Montro.

Good night, Mr. Montros.

Good night, Dick.

Good night, Roger. Bruce,

better luck next time.

Those four men. Yes, I know. Dick Killer

Moth and his men

with their beady eyes on Mr. Montros.

I think Batman and Robin are needed here

on the double.

Barbara, I'm going to lock the main

door. Keep any stragglers out. When

those gentlemen get ready to leave, you

can unlock it and let them out. All

right.

Good night, dear.

Good night, Agnes.

Gotham City Library. Miss Gordon

speaking.

You stood me up at dinner again tonight.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have called, but

I've been so busy. I'm going to have to

work late tonight, too.

Well, how about tomorrow night?

It's a definite date. Bye, handsome.

Okay, you handle montros while I lock up

the girl.

[Music]

Strange. She seems very cool about being

locked in. And who's locking whom?

And what is this? Her own secret panel

leading to her own secret closet.

Let's go. This job is going to be a

breeze.

[Music]

The dynamic duo.

Lucky you thought to reload the bat lock

breaker.

Brace yourself. Right, Pac-Man. Not long

ago, there were caterpillars.

[Music]

More caterpillars. Come cocoons, boy.

Wonder.

A moth spray gun.

Instant paralyzing cocoon.

Holy transformation.

One minute. Plain. Barbara Gordon,

librarian and commissioner Gordon's

daughter. And the next minute, something

new has been added. Batgirl,

modeled after her idol, Batman,

ready for this crucial moment and off to

make her first foray in her own

beautiful beguiling way through her

secret exit.

You insidious insect. Our

[Applause]

disguised and now ticianhaired beauty

makes a smashing entrance.

Holy apparition.

No, boy wonder. I'm Batgirl. You are no

longer alone. Cape crusaders.

[Music]

Who is she? Where'd she come from?

I have no idea of it.

[Music]

Now to get you out of those silk

straight jackets.

Holy vanity case. What a time to potter

her nose.

Correction, Boy Wonder. It's my

electronic Batgirl compact with a laser

beam

which will destroy anything.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

What delightful dynamic destruction

which couldn't have been accomplished

without you.

Who are you really?

Come now, Batman. Have you ever revealed

your true identity?

Mine must be kept as secret as yours.

Of course.

Understood.

Excuse me,

Robin.

Call Commissioner Gordon. Tell them we

foiled Killer Moth and his Moth Man

thanks to this lovely.

She's gone.

Yes, she's gone.

But I suspect we haven't seen the last

of her. Whoever she is beneath that mask

of hers, a new member of our team

or a crime fighting rival,

or just plain Barbara Gordon

masquerading for a lark as she rides

into the night on her special Batgirl

cycle. Who knows? Is the dynamic duo

destined to become the triumphant trio?

Only time will tell us more about this

dazzling dare doll.

[Applause]
