A Piece of the Action / Batman's Satisfaction

ORIGINAL AIR DATES: 3/1/1967-3/2/1967

EPISODE NUMBERS: 85-86, Production Code N/A

PLOT SUMMARIES:

A Piece of the Action:
On a foray into The Pick Chip Stamps Factory in Gotham City, The Green Hornet and Kato, tracing a flood of counterfeit stamps, are confronted by the unlikely Col. Gumm, an evil foreman running a counterfeit rare-stamp operation out of the factory, who informs boss Pinky Pinkston. The two crimefighters leave even though they have a good chance of trouncing Gumm. Factory owner Pinky Pinkston is concerned about the break-in, so she asks Commissioner Gordon for help, and Gordon alerts The Dynamic Duo. Later, Bruce Wayne lunches with Pinky and her friend Britt Reid and Gumm overhears their conversation as she asks Bruce to get The Batman to guard her factory against The Green Hornet and Kato.

Bruce and Britt visit Boris Severoff's Stamp Store to complain about counterfeit stamps. Severoff denies everything but he hurriedly advises his thugs; Canceled, Reprint and Block, to dismantle the operation. Unfortunately, Pinky overhears Gumm's conversation and she is bound and gagged in his office. The Green Hornet and Kato, returning to the factory in an attempt to round up the do-badders, are captured by Gumm and his men. Although The Batman and Robin arrive soon after, they fall into a glue trap and are forced to watch in horror as The Hornet and Kato are fed to an Enlarged Perforation and Coiling Machine, in which they are both to be blocked, gummed, and perforated into lifesized stamps, while The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder, stuck to Col. Gumm's undetatchable glue pad, await their turn!

Batman's Satisfaction:
The Green Hornet and Kato are stamped and thumbtacked to the wall, but Batman and Robin unwittingly come unglued and overpower Col. Gumm, Cancelled, Reprint, and Block. At the last possible instant, The Caped Crusader quickly shuts off the machine and loosens the outside panel giving The Green Hornet enough room to use his Hornet Sting gun to blast open the machine. But the evil gang has dispersed, with Gumm kidnapping Pinky. Green Hornet and Kato try to pick up the trail of the escaped Col. Gumm and his gang; meanwhile, Batman labors with and interpret the letters remaining in Col. Gumm's Gumm's abandoned bowl of alphabet soup Pinky left for him and deciphers a message in the soup, which points our heroes toward The International Stamps Exhibition.

Meanwhile, Pinky escapes Gumm's clutches with the aid of her pink dog, Apricot, informs Commissioner Gordon of the imminent crime, and accompanies the GCPD to The Exhibition. There Batman and Robin find not only Colonel Gumm, Canceled, Reprint and Block, but The Green Hornet and Kato, too, whom The Duo believe are the crooks behind this whole criminal scheme! During the ensuing battle, Batman finds himself pitted against Green Hornet and Kato using his karate prowess to subdue Robin. Col. Gumm, still disguised as "Mr. Barbarosa," kidnaps Pinky and tries to snatch the priceless stamps. The Dynamic Duo break off their fight to rescue Pinky, and The Green Hornet and Kato split just as Chied O'Hara, Commissioner Gordon and a slew of Gotham's Finest arrive to apprehend the real culprits and wrap things up. Later that night, Bruce Wayne, Britt Reid and Pinky Pinkston celebrate with a candlelit dinner.
