The Penguin‘s (Burgess Meredith) men kidnap Alfred (Alan Napier) to brainwash the butler in cluing them into the time and location of a multi-millionaires dinner. After releasing the brainwashed butler back into the wild, Penguin leaves a clue to lure Batman and a Robin into one of the series’ weirder traps on the Gotham Pier involving pop-up umbrellas and exploding balloons.

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the 1966 Batman TV-series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Roddy McDowall guest-stars as the Bookworm who enjoys running the Dynamic Duo ragged with odd clues, misdirection (including faking the death of Commissioner Gordon), and literary references while his true goal is to get his hands on the Batmobile in order to steal priceless books from the library vault. While an odd villain, with some pretty lame henchmen, McDowall is obviously enjoying his time with the role and Francine York steals a scene or two as the member of the gang left to try and misdirect Batman.

Along with variations on his costume, the character will also don a variety of roles for his time in front of the camera including both a cowboy an Charlie Chaplin. Sherry Jackson guest-stars as aspiring actress added to the Riddler’s crew who proves to be the weak link (thanks to another of Batman’s gadgets that is able to chemically determine the truth of the woman’s statements).

Now the pair will just to have to fight their way through the rest of the school to get their hands on the felonious feline.
We still don’t get an appearance of Batman, but Bruce Wayne finally arrives in town to attend the gala at the estate of Hiram Lodge where he discovers not only the Siren swaying the adults under her spell but also the town being turned over to the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, and Catwoman.
