Batman and Robin learn from a radio broadcast
that an attempt will be made to steal some diamonds from a cargo plane.
Flying the plane, they out-distance another which pursues them,
but are forced to earth by the stolen remote control machine.
Yeah, these stones are the real thing
Jimmy, tell headquarters it's OK.
Plane one calling headquarters.
Come in, plane one.
We have the diamonds.
Splendid. We won't keep Batman waiting any longer.
It'll blow!
What do we do now?
We get those diamonds back.
Hurry up, you guys, that blast will bring the police.
Shove off. Let's get out of here quick.
OK,
these diamonds will make a nice present for the Wizard.
Did you hear that?
A good name to remember.
We may be closer to recovering
Hammil's stolen invention than we think.
See anything?
Something that looked like this.
Why, that looks like the package of diamonds.
Or a reasonable facsimile.
Hold the fort, Robin. Wish me luck.
What's eatin' you?
Oh, nothin'. Just... Just dreamin', I guess.
For a minute I got an idea I Didn't have the diamonds.
You take care of the plane.
We're expected at headquarters.
OK.
What was that?
I don't know, but I'm goin' to find out.
Hey, John.
Somebody's been in here. The exit door is unlocked.
Let's go out and take a look.
Right.
They went through here, followin' this path.
Looks like a dead end.
Nowhere to go but off.
They couldn't have come this far.
Maybe we missed a side trail.
Pretty smart arrangement.
Yeah, but I'd like it better if I knew where this sub went.
Maybe some island off the coast.
All you have to know is
that it takes you to the headquarters of the Wizard.
Jimmy, you stay here.
Here are the diamonds.
Batman and Robin were destroyed.
Excellent,
Seal of the Batman!
And a lot of worthless pebbles.
It couldn't have happened.
I had 'em all the time.
Never mind the excuses. And Batman is still alive.
Recognize that place?
Well, looks like Hammil's home.
The man who invented the remote control machine.
What about it?
Nothing. Just a coincidence that it's located so close
to where we lost the trail of those men.
That scream came from the grounds of Hammil's estate
What's the meaning of this?
Miss Vale evidently walked into your man-trap.
Serves her right.
Intruders have no business here.
And you've no business having these dangerous devices around.
Maybe you're right.
But it's my only protection.
My work is most important.
I'm sorry, young lady.
If you've suffered any harm, I'll gladly pay for it.
Gee, what a character.
I suppose you came here just to steal a few pictures.
Well, Hammil's big news these days.
You'd better let us escort you out of here.
We're on our way to report to commissioner Gordon.
There's still no trace of that plane you stowed away in.
Its license belonged to a job
that was burned in a crackup several months ago.
But we'll find it, just as You found these diamonds.
I'd still like to know where Barry Brown got that news
he broadcast about the diamond theft.
So would I, but he still refuses to reveal any of his trade secrets.
Look.
It's Dunne, the private eye.
I wonder what he's been up to, leavin' Brown's apartment?
We can follow him and find out.
But you're supposed to see Brown.
That can wait.
We can hear the broadcast while we're drivin'.
It's time for Brown's broadcast.
This is Barry Brown, reporting another exclusive.
Information reaches me that the vital remote control machine,
the theft of which I alone predicted,
is to be used again to aid in robbing a shipment
leaving by train from Gotham City today.
And now, a peek at the foreign news.
Is he kidding?
What does that look like?
Dunne's stopping near the railroad yards.
What can we do about it?
You wait in the car. I'll tail Dunne on foot.
What were those men after?
They were lookin' for information
about a shipment of that new X-90,
a high explosive that was aboard the special express.
They stole the manifest.
I tried to stop the train, but it was too late.
Are you OK?
Sure, thanks.
Barry Brown sure had his facts straight.
An attempt will be made to steal that shipment.
It's all ready left aboard a special train.
Headquarters to Nolan. Headquarters to Nolan.
This is Nolan.
I've been informed that the shipment of X-90 is on a special train
which will pass junction R at 4:30.
I'll stop the train there, so you can board it.
From there on, follow previous orders.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
We'll board the train here when the Wizard slows it down.
You pick us up as planned.
Will Robin have to carry on alone?
What startling development has Vicki discovered?
