♪ Batman ♪♪

Gotham City
International Airport.

A pleasant day
for an important arrival.

Gentlemen, please.
A little room for the king.

Welcome to Gotham City,
Your Highness.

This has been
a long awaited pleasure.

Thank you, my friends. But
the pleasure is entirely mine.

I've heard wonderful things
about your city.

How was your flight,
Your Majesty.

Bumpy.

Oh, uh..

Except when we crossed
into American territory

then it was smooth.

I'd like to ask--

The limousine's waiting,
Your Majesty.

I'm sure you'd like
to go to the hotel.

Fine, fine.

Oh, uh..
May I take that for you?

No-no, no thank you.
No.

No offense,
but it's too important.

I shall carry it with me
until the presentation.

Your Majesty..

...on behalf
of the Welcoming Committee

I'd like to present you
with these roses.

Well, thank you, young lady.
Thank you very much.

Shy little thing, isn't she?

These flowers are certainly..

Make anything out of it,
Chief O'Hara?

There's no doubt about it..

...The Riddler

that infernal Prince of Puzzlers
as you call him

is up to his old tricks.

And what will those
tricks be, chief?

"When is a person
like a piece of wood?"

What does it mean?

I wish I knew,
commissioner.

I wish I knew.

Anyone else think they can make
any sense out of it?

Well, there is one man
who might be able to.

I have a fine police force here,
yet I have no alternative

but to call on his services
once again.

Long time ago, I gave up trying
to figure out who he was

I owe him too much for that.

We all owe him
a very great deal.

And in Wayne Manor

stately and secure home
of millionaire Bruce Wayne

and his youthful ward
Dick Grayson.

I'll beckon him,
sir, immediately.

You think?
That's mate...old chum.

Gosh, Bruce.
Why can't I ever beat you?

You have on...several occasions.

Only when your mind
is on important matters..

Excuse me for interrupting, sir.

- But it's the Batphone.
- Oh, boy!

Oops! Sorry, Aunt Harriet.
I didn't mean to scare you.

Mercy alive! If I didn't know
you two better

I'd think you were
up to something.

What do you mean,
Aunt Harriet?

Well, it's just that
every once in awhile

you come zooming out
of this room like jet planes

practically knocking me over

and then rushing out
with hardly any explanation.

There's no mystery,
Aunt Harriet.

Dick and I just played
a game of chess

and we agreed that if I won,
he'd do some studying.

If he won,
we'd go fishing.

Bye, dear.

Yes, commissioner.

Batman, I'm having trouble..

...with a riddle.

Him again.

We'll be right over.

To the Batpoles.

It's The Riddler.
His modus operandi alright.

I agree. Nobody else would use
such a spectacular

and bizarre method
to flaunt a puzzle.

What the devil is the culprit
trying to tell us?

The riddle itself
is pretty basic.

A person is a piece of wood
when he's a ruler.

You figure it has something
to do with King Boris.

- Maybe.
- Good thinking, Robin.

But no attempt was made
to abduct or to harm him.

Wood, ruler, king. Tsk.

A chess king.

The International Chess
Tournament tonight.

Twenty five thousand dollars
in prize money.

Boy Wonder,
you've done it again.

I think this thing
is much bigger than that.

The Riddler goes after
millions not thousands.

He loves to dazzle us
with his fancy footwork.

In any case, assign an extra
squad of men to cover the place.

- What is King Boris' itinerary?
- He's here on a goodwill visit.

Among other things

he's to be an honorary judge at
the Miss Galaxy finals tomorrow.

And the following day

will appear at the Queen
of Freedom Monument.

I saw that in the papers.

He's going to present
the Museum of Fame

with a doll-sized replica
of the Queen of Freedom.

Queen?

A queen can be a ruler.

- That's it.
- What queen?

There is no queen,
the king ain't married.

There will be tomorrow.

A new queen of beauty.

They're gonna crown her
with a priceless diamond

and emerald tiara.

Exactly, Robin.

It's my guess that our puzzling
friend will try to steal it.

Ah, now,
we're getting somewhere.

'I'll have that place
blocked so tight..'

On the contrary..

...I think we should let
The Riddler steal the tiara.

Ladies and gentlemen, before
I announce this year's winner

I shall like to introduce you
to last year's Miss Galaxy.

She is Jackie Sands.

This is it.

The moment you've all
been waiting for.

The moment one of these girls
has been waiting for.

Our moment of truth.

Knowing that arch-villain
The Riddler

I'm almost positive
he'll show up for this event.

We'll soon find out.

Miss Galaxy will be crowned
any moment.

The new Miss Galaxy

Queen of Beauty is..

...Southern City's own
sparkling-eyed beauty

Julia Davis.

- Congratulations, Julia.
- Thank you.

Miss Galaxy..

...it is with great pleasure
that I crown you Queen of Beauty

with this magnificent diamond
and emerald tiara.

- Oh! Thank you.
- Isn't she beautiful?

'Miss Galaxy.'

He's in for quite a surprise
when he discovers I substituted

a fake tiara
for the real one.

Too bad we didn't get a chance
to paste The Riddler.

We might yet.

Don't forget I placed
a homing transmitter

in the band of that tiara.

It'll lead us right
to his hideout.

Yes.

Now, to the Batmobile.

Wait, Robin. Look.

Holy sewer pipe!
What's he up to?

You're slipping, Batman.

I knew it was a phony crown
all the time.

Riddle me this, crime fighter.

What room can no one enter?

If you figure it out

look for another royal riddle
in this crown.

That ends any chance of tracking
him with the homing device.

Shall we after him
in the manhole?

We'll never find him.

There're hundreds of tunnels
down here.

A riddle a day
keeps The Riddler away.

What?

Once, a long time ago

The Riddler made the mistake
of telling me that.

It means as long as he dishes
out riddles, he's..

...he's not finished
with his plot.

When the riddles stop

that's when he's ready
for his final caper.

Then he told the truth.

That diamond tiara wasn't
what he was really after.

Right, Robin.

But we have two more riddles
to tell us what it may be.

Now. First clue was

What room can no one enter?

A mushroom.

Agreed. Uh, the second one.
Read it again.

"What is the beginning
of eternity

"the end of time and space

beginning of every end and
the end of every race?"

Golly, Batman.

It doesn't seem to make sense.

Let's see. If your first answer,
a mushroom was correct..

Why, that's it.

- Of course.
- You have it?

What was it The Riddler said
when he threw back the tiara?

"There's a royal riddle
in this crown."

Look up the address
of the Royal Mushroom Club.

There are some things we can do
the good old-fashion way.

Using the telephone book.

Oh! I must be getting lazy.

Meanwhile, in another cave,
a rat cave

dreary hideout
of the sinister River Rats Gang

currently in the employ
of The Riddler.

What's this, River Rats?

Munching cheese
while there's work to be done?

Sorry, Riddler,
but we got hungry.

Oh, indeed. Well, perhaps
you'll lose your appetite

when I deduct the cheese bill
from your share of the profits.

- How'd it go, chief?
- Magnificent.

Sumptuous.

You should have seen the look
on Batman's face

when I threw the tiara.

Now, my good rats.

Now is the time to go
to the Royal Mushroom Club.

If Plan 13-Z goes well,
and I'm sure it will

the finest achievement in crime
shall be culminated tonight.

The end of Batman and Robin.

And later,
at the Royal Mushroom Club..

Magnificent.

What a fantastic duplication.

Those jewels,
it must be worth a fortune.

Value was not the object.

It's friendship that counts

and admiration
for your great country.

To America!

America.

'Mmm! What a delicious wine.'

Ho ho. Marvelous bouquet.

The Royal Mushroom Club has
some of the finest wines

in the world. Right,
Mr. Ambassador.

Yes. Fine vintages
and rare years indeed.

Begging your pardon,
Mr. Ambassador

but we're every proud
of our wine cellar.

Perhaps His Majesty
would like a tour?

An excellent idea.

I'm always interested
in good wines.

Like a small boy looking
at expensive bicycles.

Well then,
let me lead the way.

Batman! Robin!

- Trouble or pleasure?
- We're not sure yet.

Is King Boris
visiting here tonight?

Why, yes. He just went for
a tour of our wine cellar.

Which way?

Fastest way is
down the stairs.

Come on, Robin.
We haven't a second to lose.

Well, well.

Chateau Le Duc '29.

I didn't know
there was any left.

I'm very much impressed.

Batman and Robin.
This is an unexpected pleasure.

Thank you.
This isn't a social visit.

- May we approach, King Boris?
- It's an honor to meet you.

How can I be of service?

Your Majesty,
you're in great danger here.

May we escort you
to your hotel?

- Danger? That's ridiculous.
- We thought so too, but then--

Oh, I've heard wondrous things
about you, Batman.

But, this time,
I'm afraid you're wrong.

First of all,
I'm with friends.

Second, there is no political
threat against me

I assure you.

My country is small
and harmless

my people, content and happy.
Who would want to..

The king!
He's gone.

What?

Great Scott!
A trapdoor!

Does anyone know
where this leads?

I wasn't aware there
was a trapdoor here.

Come on, Robin. There might be
an exit from outside the club.

"Two steps to aid you
with my plot."

That's no riddle.

But those are.

"How much dirt is in a hole
three acres square

and 200 feet deep?"

None. Because it's a hole.

I suggest that's a bit
too elementary

for our quizzical criminal.

"If you're having difficulty
with the first

"perhaps your young friend
can help you on this one.

What won't run long
without winding?"

"What won't run long
without winding?"

Clock?

Stairway!

- A river?
- The Gotham river.

We'll soon find out.
Come on, Robin.

Back to the Batcave.

Gotham City river bending
and winding...sections.

Nothing there.

- Negative again.
- Hold it.

I think we may have something.
Let's take a closer look.

That may be it.

Gotham City Water and Power
Plant exact location

and size.

'This could be a clue.'

A hole three acres wide
and 200 feet deep.

I'll bet The Riddler
and his gang

are holing up
with King Boris.

Let's go and dig 'em out.

And fast.

And at the obsolete
Water and Power Plant..

I don't know what kind
of rogues you are

but I demand that you
release me this instant.

Gee

I never met royalty before.

It's pretty thrilling.

Royalty?

You've never met royalty?

And just whom do you think
stands before you

My cherub?

I am the Prince of Puzzlers

the Count of Conundrums

'the King of Crime.'

My whole court here,
no one else..

It's a good idea hiding
the Batmobile on that thicket.

Nobody will spot it there.

I hope nobody spots us
climbing this wall.

Why don't we just break in
through the main entrance?

Surprise attack style.

Don't worry,
we'll catch them off guard.

Through the ventilating system?

First, I wanna make sure
we don't endanger King Boris

when we make our entrance.

Gosh! There could be
diplomatic repercussions

if we fail this time,
Batman.

That's not the point, Robin.

What's important is that
the world knows

that all visitors to these
teeming shores are safe.

Be it a peasant
or a king.

Gee, Batman, I never thought
of that. You're right.

It's the very essence
of our democracy.

Darn it..

You have the Queen
of Freedom replica

what possible good can it do
for you to keep me here?

My fine sovereign friend.

In your wildest imagination, you
could never begin to conceive

my ingenious stratagem.

If not ransom,
then what?

You, my dear king,
have been reduced to a pawn.

An important pawn however.

For you will be used
to checkmate Batman

'and his preposterous
Boy Wonder.'

'When they show up..'

...then my men will
escort you safely

back to town..

...with your statue.

You want a piece of cheese?

Not without a good vintage port,
you lackey.

To quote an old axiom

"The finer the bait,
the shorter the wait."

Hey, king.

Uh, we shouldn't have
to wait much longer.

Batman fell for my clues.

Alright, Riddler.

Now you're going to fall
right into the hands of the law.

Now, Whitey.

Batman, we're caught
in this sticky trap.

I-I-I can't get out of it.

I-I can't move.

Neither can I.

It couldn't be more beautiful!

Whoever heard of a bat
caught in a spider's web?

Whitey, Fangs!

Be sure to strap
them down good.

I'm a man of my word.

Whiskers! Whiskers, return
the statue to His Majesty

and take him back to town.
Blindfolded of course.

Oh, you were stupendous
as a pawn, king.

Batman and Robin played it
right into my hands.

Oh!

Comfortable?
Huh.

Batman..

...these driveshafts rotate
1000 revolutions per second

that means the centrifugal force
will tear the bones

from your body.

But before I start you spinning

I'd like to spill off
one last riddle.

You might have about a minute
to solve it before you die.

Now, then.

Why is a woman in love
like a welder?

Goodbye, Batman.

Goodbye, Boy Wonder.

Take it easy...Robin.

One bad turn deserves another.

Batman and Robin to die?

Things certainly are turning
the wrong way for them.

Is this really the end?

Unbelievable!

If you care
for Batman and Robin

keep hoping
'til tomorrow night.

Same time.
Same Bat-channel.
