"Say, what's this I hear about your finding a-- a gold mine?" "Oh, better than gold." "Look." "Looks like a piece of coal to me." "Yeah, that's pitchblende." "That's the mineral from which radium is extracted." "And I've got millions of tons of this pitchblende on site." "[ Colton On Speaker ] On the last test I made, why, it showed a higher grade ore than any known deposit." "[ Bruce ] Very interesting." "But isn't it a rather expensive process to extract the radium from this" "What did you call it?" "Pitchblende." "Yeah." "Oh, yes." "But that doesn't matter, long as you know how little there is available... and how badly more is needed." "Mr. Colton seems to understand our problem." "Where is your mine located, Mr. Colton?" "Don't tell anyone, not even us, until you've registered your claim." "Oh, I can trust you folks." "Hey, have you got a map of the state?" "Yes." "I'll get you one." "That's fine." "You know, you'll be surprised when you find out where this mine is located." "Oh." "I'll pick 'em up for you, Linda." "Thank you." "Here it is." "[ Colton ] Thanks." "Now, I think this'll show us where we wanna go." "Now, see this road here?" "Leads right up here and branches off." "Line went dead." "Yes." "Just when we were about to learn the location of the mine." "Preston, go to Colton's room." "Get those papers before he has a chance to get back." "Take Burke and Klein with you." "Thanks for the lift." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Good night, Mr. Colton." "Good night, son." "I didn't get a chance to tell you till now." "When we were up in Linda's apartment," "I found this microphone hidden under her desk." "Somebody else besides us knows all about Colton and his mine." "I tore the wires loose, but whoever was listening heard most of the conversation." "I think that Batman and Robin had better keep an eye on Mr. Colton." "Swell." "Let's get into our outfits." "There's nothing here that looks like a chart or a map." "Look through those pockets again." "There's someone at the door." "Put your light out." "I'll take care of him." "The Batman!" "He's covering the door!" "Let's get outta here!" "You all right?" "Yeah." "Who are you?" "No time to explain now." "Come on." "Shall I get the car?" "No." "They'd be lost in the traffic before we could get started." "We'll get back to Colton and see if he's hurt." "You'll be all right now." "Do you think you'll be able to identify any of the men?" "No." "It was dark." "I didn't get a good look at them." "I'll leave you a sedative, in case you don't sleep well tonight." "[ Knocking ]" "Evening, Mr. Wayne." "What brings you here?" "I just heard from Captain Arnold that Mr. Colton had been attacked." "Who were they, Ken?" "Oh, I suppose that bunch of claim-jumpers that you warned me about." "They didn't get what they came for." "We'll stay with him for a while." "I'll see that Mr. Colton makes a full report of this tomorrow." "Thanks, Mr. Wayne." "Good night." "You won't have to wait long." "I've sent for a male nurse to look after him." "That's fine." "We'll just stay till he gets here." "[ Door Closes ] You know they failed, Ken." "They'll try it again." "I'll be ready for them." "[ Phone Rings ]" "Mr. Wayne's residence." "Who's calling, please?" "A Mr. Colton calling, sir." "Oh." "Morning, Ken." "How do you feel?" "Fit as a fiddle, full of news." "Just heard from Martin Warren." "On my way to meet him." "Why don't you go with me?" " Where'd he tell you to meet him?" " Down at the Atlas Smelter." "Avenue "D" and Seventh Street." "Said he's a foreman there." "Defense work, you know." "Take my advice and stay where you are." "It may be a trap." "Don't forget those claim jumpers from last night." "Ah, yes, I know." "But if this is really Martin, I don't want to miss him." "Tell you what." "I'll go over there and make sure it's Martin who called you." "Yeah." "If everything is in order, I'll phone, and you can come over then." "Okay, Bruce." "I'll be waiting for your call." "Well, Alfred, your big moment has come." "Oh, splendid, sir." "You're gonna pinch-hit for Mr. Colton and keep his appointment for him." "Me, sir?" "Oh, I" " I hardly feel I can do it, sir." "I'm not feeling very top-ho this morning." "Dick, get the makeup kit." "I'm certain he can look more like Colton than Colton does himself." "Keep the change, my good man." "Well, there's no one around." "Let's go." "Sorry, Mr. Colton, but your friend Warren hasn't arrived yet." "Oh." "Oh, well, I-- I don't mind waiting a little." "Oh, fine, fine." "Nice little plant we have here." "It should interest you." "Not very large, but our method of processing" "Oh!" "Careful, careful." "Don't trip into that vat." "The chemical in there would leave no trace of you if you did." "Oh." "You see?" "And now, Mr. Colton, where is your mine located?" "Mine?" "What mine?" "Well, you see, I-- I'm afraid I can't" "I can't" "Why should I tell you?" "The boys didn't finish with you last night." "If they begin on you again, you'll be ready for the morgue." "See if you can persuade Mr. Colton to answer my question." "Are you gonna talk?" "Are you gonna tell us where that mine is?" "No!" "Well, maybe a yank on this will change your mind!" "Oh, a phony!"

"These beams formed an arch and protected you." "You are indeed most fortunate, sir." "Do you think that half a beard is better than none at all, Alfred?" "Oh!" "Oh!" "I forgot." "We'd better phone Colton right away." "Yes, those men will probably try again." "If I had to have a nurse, why didn't they send someone that knew how to play cards?" "I'm sorry." "Yeah, I know you're sorry." "You're always sorry." "You're the sorriest man I ever knew." "[ Phone Ringing ]" "Hello?" "Hello, Bruce." "Is Martin Warren with you?" "No, but my hunch was right." "It was a trick to get your claim papers." "These crooks don't seem to take no for an answer, eh?" "That's right." "And they'll probably pay you another visit." "So don't admit anyone to your room till we get back." "Yeah, they caught me napping once." "I'll be all ready for 'em this time." "That's good." "We gotta stop off and make a report to the police." "Then we'll be right over." "Good-bye." "I hope that bunch of crooks do come back." "They'll find they ain't playin' with a kid." "Come here." "Hold this coat for me, will you?" "I have been up against a lot tougher hombres... than that bunch of tinhorns ever thought of bein'." "What's the matter?" "Little gun shy, eh?" "Eh, don't worry." "I've been handling' this little toy for 20 years." "Come here." "Let me show you something." "See that?" "That's my little black widow." "It's only got two bites, but both of 'em are fatal." "Give me a hand with that." "You see?" "Can't see a thing." "When I need her, I just do this, and there she is." "Say, that's pretty good." "Pretty good nothing." "That's perfect." "So you see, son, I need a nurse about as much as I need a hole in my head." "So you just breeze along." "I'll be glad to see you sometime." "I hope you learn how to play pinochle." "It's too bad you didn't let us look into this, instead of taking it on yourself to investigate." "I only went there on a hunch." "I have no facts to give you." "Say, this looks like one of them." "Yeah, it does." "That's Sam Fletcher, a former civil engineer." "He did a stretch in the state pen." "They released him about a year ago." "No record of him since." "I'll have Fletcher picked up, and then when you meet him face-to-face, you can tell whether he was one of the men who attacked you." "Well, thanks, Captain." "Give me a ring anytime." "You bet." "Send Eberly in here, if he's awake." "[ Knocking ]" "Come in." "Stand where you are and state your business." "I must be in the wrong room." "I'm looking for a patient, a Mr. Colton." "I'm Colton." "I don't look very sick, do I?" "No, you don't." "That is, physically anyway." "What's your name, and who sent you here?" "I'm Dr. Franklin." "Dr. Henry Franklin." "Miss Linda Page asked me to call on you." "I thought you expected me." "I'm sorry I scared you, Doc, but Miss Page didn't tell me she was sending you over." "Well, I can see that you don't need a doctor." "I might as well run along." "All right." "As long as I'm here, why don't you just let me give you a quick checkup?" "I'm gonna have to make a report to Miss Page." "I can't lie to her." "Yeah, on one condition." "Don't try to give me any pills." "That's fair enough." "If you'll just sit down now and relax." "You know, Doc, women are funny creatures." "Always worried about a man's health." "That's right." "Just open your mouth, please." "[ Gasping, Choking ]" "There's the signal." "Here we go." "Fine thing!" "He's not here, and after promising to wait for us." "Maybe he couldn't keep that promise." "Give me the desk, please." "Hello." "Did Mr. Colton leave word where he was going when he went out?" "Do you know what hospital they took him to?" "All right." "Thank you." "Took him to a hospital in an ambulance." "Clerk didn't find out which hospital it was." "I guess we'd better call all the hospitals in town to try and find out." "You won't find him in any hospital." "Do you smell that peculiar odor?" "Yes, I do." "That means Colton was drugged so he could be carried out of here." "Here's something." "That's it all right." "And they used this to administer the drug." "That's no clue." "You can't get fingerprints off linen." "We may find some other marks that'll be of use." "Let's get back to our lab." "Well, so this is the great Mr. Colton, huh?" "Uh, Dr. Fletcher-- [ Chuckling ] smelling salts, please." "If there are any laundry marks on this that have been washed out, we'll be able to see them by means of this new black-light process."

"After you have shown us your mine, we will file a claim for it." "Yeah?" "Well, I'll never show it to you." "Perhaps a little demonstration will convince our stubborn friend... that his decision is very unwise." "Martin Warren, come into the council room." "Martin Warren?" "Yes." "Look at the third panel." " Marty!" " Your old friend Warren." "He, too, was stubborn at first, but we soon cured him of that." "Warren, step forward and let your friend look at you." "Marty?" "Marty!" "Don't you know me-- your old friend Ken Colton?" "Warren, show him how strong you are." "[ Choking ] [ Chuckling ]" "Stop it, Warren." "That's enough." "Now go to the door." "You have your choice." "You can either show us the mine of your own free will, or we will convert you into a zombie like your friend Warren." "All right." "I'll do as you say." "A very wise decision." "[ Buzzing ]" "Don't close that door!" "Put your hands up." "Keep your back to me." "Tell them to drop their guns." "Drop the guns, gentlemen." "Go on."

"I'm sure that Ken's disappearance and the radium mines... all have some connection with Uncle Martin." "Nonsense." "You don't know miners." "Probably out painting the town." "Wish I could believe that." "The police can't find him, and you're too lazy to try and look for him." "I'm going to find him myself." "Where are you going to look for him?" "At his mine."

"Perhaps, Mr. Colton, you'd like to see Mr. Warren again... to remind you of what happens to anyone who refuses to obey me." "No, thanks." "Are you willing to show us to your mine?" "Not by a long shot." "Are you not aware that after you become a zombie, you will be forced to guide us there?" "That's what you think." "So sorry." "Fletcher." "[ Whirring, Crackling ]" "Stop!"

"Let's get our sounding set and test these walls." "Wallace, bring me zombie headpiece and a microphone." "Linda Page, stand up." "Walk to me." "Stop." "I think maybe now Miss Page will cooperate... and arrange an interview with Mr. Bruce Wayne." "Good." "Then we'll find out if he's another one of those "Batmen."" "Linda Page, follow me." "Now, gentlemen, I will show you how a trap works... when I set it." "Empty!" "Impossible!" "No human being could have escaped from it." "The Batman must be a magician or a devil." "Unless someone helped him from the outside." "That kid must've been around." "It's been pried open by a jimmy or a crowbar." "I assure you this will be the Batman's last escape." "Fortunately, I had the roof mined." "We must close this tunnel before the police find it." "Linda Page, go up those stairs." "[ Explosion ]" "The only other entrance to this place is through the Chamber of Horrors." "Make certain it is not discovered." "The tunnel's caved in." "It'd take a week to get through this." "They must have discovered I got out of their trap, and they're afraid I'd find the secret entrance to their hideout." "They won't come in or out of here again." "But they must have another entrance, and we've got to find it." "Tomorrow, we'll go to the surveyor's office and study a map of this block." "That might give us a lead." "That's the kid that works with the Batman." "Daka would sure love to get his hands on him." "Let's get back to the car, quick." "They're looking for Batman and Robin." "Get down, out of sight." "We driving too fast, Officers?" "No, I-- I thought you were someone else." "Then we have your permission to continue?" "Sure." "Go ahead." "Come on, stupid." "Follow 'em, and don't let 'em out of your sight." "It'll be a pleasure, sir." "This is where Batman and Robin give them a little surprise." "Suits me fine." "Oh, master, I thought I'd killed you." "Not quite." "But I appreciate the effort." "You all right, Dick?" "Sure, I'm all right." "What about those two?" "We going to present them to Captain Arnold?" "No, we'll take them to the Bat's Cave first and question them ourselves." "Alfred, go to the car and get some rope." "Yes, sir." "Robin, get some chairs for our guests." "Bernie!" "Where did they grab you?" "Shut up, you stupes." "I'm afraid, in spite of Bernie's warning, you'll have to supply me with certain information." "Keep your traps shut." "You'd better ignore Bernie and start talking right now." "Batman, I want you." "Excuse me, gentlemen." "Sorry to disturb you, sir." "However, I felt the circumstances warranted it." "What's wrong?" "I just found this note in the mailbox." ""Dear Bruce, Please come to 37 Pike Street." "Don't worry." "I'm all right." "Will explain everything when I see you." "Linda."" "Looks exactly like her handwriting." "Probably is." "Aren't you going to test it for fingerprints?" "The man who forced her to write this was too clever to leave any." "Robin, we're going to 37 Pike Street." "Looks like a trap." "Of course it is." "But we won't get caught in it." "Come on out." "I guess we're all set." "Let's wait out in the hall." "All right." "Ah." "One, Nojo." "Last one for Sako." "Huh?" "Good, good, huh?" "[ Hissing ] All gone." "[ Chuckles ]" "That was just a little appetizer." "The main course will be served when Bruce Wayne gets here." "If he walks into your trap." "He will." "That's the place." "Wait here." "I'll call you on the Batman radio if I need help." "All right." "Linda!" "He's out, all right." "Yeah, well, put him in the box." "You wait here." "I'll take the girl back and send a couple of truckmen over for the box." "Well, make it snappy." "All right, boys, unload the new exhibit and put it up on that car." "Here." "Thanks, boys." "Close up, Joe." "Uh, yeah, okay." "[ Buzzing ]" " Come on, boys." "Give me a hand with that box." " No, let the zombies do it." "Warren, Brown, bring that box from the cave." "Stop where you are." "[ Hissing, Roaring ]" "Warren, Brown, throw that box into the pit." "[ Crashing ]" "[ Screaming ]" "[ Narrator ] There's Robin, battling his way into the spies' hideout." "Will Alfred be able to lead the police to the Cave of Horrors... before the treacherous Jap can make good his escape using Linda as a shield?" "Don't fail to see "The Doom of the Rising Sun,"" "Chapter 15 of Batman, at this theatre next week."
