Batman (1966–1968): Season 1, Episode 12 - When the Rat's Away the Mice Will Play - full transcript
Batman manages to escape the Riddler's death trap. He and Robin decide to lay low until they can figure out the Riddler's caper. Meanwhile, the Riddler frees King Boris, who brings a gift to a major monument in Gotham City. It turns out the Riddler has substituted a bomb for King Boris's gift and he is demanding a ransom. The Riddler, though, overplays his hand, enabling Batman and Robin to capture the Riddler and his gang.
So far, we have seen a royal
visitor arriving in Gotham City.
A festive reception...
with greetings from the Riddler.
The Dynamic Duo to the rescue.
Solve the tricky riddle.
And then, a beauty queen...
robbed of her tiara.
Batman and Robin perplexed.
Champagne for everyone.
A vanishing king.
More riddles in his place.
The Caped Crusader and
the Boy Wonder on his trail.
Holy entanglement.
Trapped like flies.
Horrors strapped to the
Riddler's whirling wheels.
Can the Dynamic Duo
escape a spinning death?
Wait. The most fiendish...
is yet to come.
Robin, are you all right?
Robin.
Robin. Snap out of it, Robin.
Must've passed out.
Wow. That was like taking a hundred
rides on a supersonic rollercoaster.
One more revolution of that wheel
would have probably finished both of us.
What happened?
While they dragged
us down here...
some of the web-like material
tore away from my hand and waist.
I just barely managed to get the
cutting torch out of my utility belt.
You burned the armature
and short-circuited the power.
Golly, Batman, the
utility belt saves us again.
Now, old friend...
it's time to get back
on the Riddler's trail.
The following morning at the
wallowing place of the evil River Rats...
deep bellow Gotham City.
Rise and shine!
Sorry, my dear Rats, to disturb your slumber,
but I believe you are working for me.
Then sleep on your own time!
- Where's Mousey?
- She ain't here yet, chief.
She'll be here soon. You know
dames, they're never on time.
Well, time is of the essence.
We have a tight schedule.
- Good morning.
- Late morning is more like it.
- You know I detest tardiness.
- I missed the bus. Big deal.
It'll be a big deal if
you miss the caper.
We have a great many
important details to work over.
Okay, I'm here. Relax.
Yeah, Riddler. This
thing will be a cinch.
For once, we don't have to
worry about Batman and Robin.
How true.
So many people have tried.
The Penguin, Mister
Freeze, the Joker.
All masters of
their craft, granted...
but I, only I have triumphed...
in ridding Gotham City's criminal
kingdom of the Dynamic Duo.
And good riddance it is.
How frustrating it will
be for my colleagues...
when they learn that I
succeeded where they failed.
I'd like to see their faces
when they hear about it.
They'll have no one
to outwit anymore.
Regrettably, that's
no longer our problem.
Tomorrow, we shall be miles
and miles away in another country.
With all that
beautiful green dough.
If everything goes
according to plan, that is.
- And why shouldn't it?
- What if they refuse to pay?
Well, I've left them no choice.
My plan is foolproof, I promise you.
Yeah, I gotta along with the
Riddler. He ain't steered us wrong yet.
Deeply touched.
Whiskers, any problems last
night with my friend, the king?
- Took him back safe and sound.
- Good, good.
Rats, I'm a man of few words...
but a man of many
riddles, so riddle me this.
What is it that is always
coming but never arrives?
Quickly. Quickly.
We ain't tuned in on
the riddle bit, chief.
Yeah, we give up.
What is it that is always
coming but never arrives?
Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Tomorrow.
For when it
arrives, it is today.
And today, my dear rodents,
should prove to be most memorable.
And that's all you can
tell us, Your Majesty?
It is exactly as I
have explained.
A sinister humorist in mask and
tights, some other scoundrels...
Batman and Robin being captured.
It all happened so
suddenly, so swiftly.
Then I was returned
to my hotel blindfolded.
- And you have no idea where you were at?
- None whatsoever.
All right, Your Majesty.
Thanks for your time.
I feel terrible about
Batman and Robin...
but I'm due at the Queen
of Freedom Monument...
- I could cancel.
- Oh, no, Your Majesty.
If we need further
information, we'll contact you.
Thank you, gentlemen.
They're alive.
Batman, are you all right?
Yes, commissioner, we had a nasty
turn, but we came out of it all right.
Have you spoken with King Boris?
He's perfectly safe.
On his way for some festivities at
the Queen of Freedom Monument.
And the Riddler?
He left us in the
clutches of death.
Thank the stars that
you managed to escape.
Commissioner, with the Riddler
thinking we're out of the way...
he might get a bit careless.
I suggest that you don't tell
anyone that we've contacted you.
O'Hara and I won't tell a soul.
Good. I'll be in touch.
"A riddle a day keeps the Riddler
away." I won't forget you told me that.
Don't. Whatever his evil
scheme is, he hasn't hatched it yet.
I wonder what his
next move will be.
Let's get to the Batcave
and be ready for it.
From the Queen of
Freedom monument...
this station presents a
special public affairs program.
Well, this should
prove very interesting.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Here we are at the Museum of
Fame housed inside the Torch Room...
high atop the inspiring
Queen of Freedom Monument.
In just a few minutes, King Boris
will present the museum with a gift...
indicative of his
country's appreciation.
A gold, bejeweled miniature
replica of the Queen of Freedom.
And here comes the king.
And now, His
Majesty, King Boris.
Good afternoon, Your Majesty.
It is my great pleasure
and honor to welcome you...
on behalf of our fair city, our
nation, and the television audience.
My friends...
it is a great honor for me...
to present Gotham City's
Museum of Fame with this statue...
a symbol of courage and
freedom to all the world.
God bless you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
On behalf of Gotham
City and our country...
permit me to express
our gratitude...
and also the hope that you thoroughly
enjoy the remainder of your visit here.
So there you have it, folks.
The replica will now go on
permanent display here...
along with other
famous memorabilia.
Some of which you
might be able to see.
Over here, for instance...
we have the original Gotham
City Commodity Exchange Building.
And, uh, back here...
I think you can see a bust
of Gotham City's first mayor.
And, of course, how could
our Museum of Fame exist...
without Batman and Robin?
I think they're cute.
Just because we're on
opposite sides of the fence...
We were on opposite sides of
the fence. They're dead, remember?
Shut that thing off.
Thanks, Kingy. You're the
best partner in crime I ever had.
Later on a Gotham
City street corner.
Good heavens.
What is it?
Look, listen.
"If Gotham City does not pay me
$1 million in cash by 10:00 tonight...
the Queen of Freedom
Monument will be blown sky high.
All security efforts cannot stop the
destruction and only I can deactivate the bomb.
P.S., Batman and Robin are dead.
The Riddler."
That infernal devil.
Oh, so that was his plot:
To get rid of
Batman and Robin...
and then pull off the biggest extortion
caper in the history of Gotham City.
And he might just
get away with it.
So that's the scheme,
commissioner.
And obviously, the
city must pay for it.
But it's almost
4:00 now, Batman.
Half the city council are out of
town. They won't meet until tomorrow.
I couldn't get that kind of
money if my life depended on it.
Hmm. That is a problem.
Can you get it from
any private source?
I don't know of anyone that has
that kind of money readily available.
Except...
Except who?
Well, except my good friend,
Bruce Wayne, the millionaire socialite.
Then by all means, call
him. You can't waste any time.
All right, I'll contact
you later, Batman.
You understand, Bruce, this
million dollars is just a loan?
I don't know what
this is all about...
but if it's in the best interest of
Gotham City, I'm certainly happy to do it.
Well, you may not get all
the kudos that Batman does...
but believe me, Bruce, you are
the unsung hero of this dark hour.
I just wanna do my duty as a
proud citizen of this fair community.
Batman, what the devil?
It's Batman.
Sorry, commissioner...
I used the Batrope to get up here
because I didn't wanna be noticed.
I'm sure the Riddler has notified
you that Robin and I were dead.
- Yes.
- Good. And I want him to keep thinking that.
But, Batman, we discussed...
I never had the pleasure of
meeting Batman, commissioner.
Oh, I'm sorry. Batman, this is
my good friend, Bruce Wayne.
Ah, the millionaire socialite.
I've always wanted to
meet you, Mr. Wayne.
The feeling is mutual.
Uh, speaking of millionaires, did
you get the money for the Riddler?
I've just made the arrangements.
- Am I free to speak?
- I trust Bruce Wayne as I trust you, Batman.
Good. I have a plan.
I suggest no cops.
Police, that is.
Nine o'clock, have your men place
the money inside the museum...
in the Torch Room
of the monument.
Then they must leave.
A million dollars is a lot of money,
but the Riddler is smart and tricky.
If he suspects a trap, he'll pass up
the cash and destroy the monument.
- Well, then how do we catch him?
- You leave that to Robin and me.
He'll have to deactivate the bomb,
wherever it is, before he leaves.
Then we'll jump into action.
Oh, I know nothing whatsoever
about this sort of thing, commissioner...
but as a layman, it
makes sense to me.
All right, then, that's
the way it will be.
You're a smart man, Mr. Wayne.
We should get together sometime
and discuss crime prevention.
With pleasure. I'll look forward
to seeing you in the near future.
Batman.
Take it easy, you're not
seeing a ghost. That's Whitey.
- How did it go?
- Great.
- Gordon went for it like a duck to water.
- Uh-huh?
And that millionaire socialite,
Bruce Wayne, was there also.
Well, he fell so hard for the act
that he helped sell the plan to Gordon.
Then the coast will be clear.
Clear as your gorgeous
brown eyes, my little Mousey.
Oh, I've really outdone
myself this time.
Oh, genius. Sheer genius.
- Robin. Robin, where are you?
- Up here.
What are you doing up there?
It was making a
funny rumbling noise.
I thought some part might
be loose. Just checking it out.
Did you give Commissioner
Gordon the money?
Yes, I also met Batman.
- Oh. You what?
- Very interesting.
The Batphone.
Yes, commissioner?
By any remote possibility, were you
in my office this afternoon, Batman?
No, why?
I didn't think so. But someone
impersonating you was here.
I played along with the hoax
because Bruce Wayne was present...
and I didn't wanna
expose him to any danger.
You did exactly as
you should've done.
Did he give you
any instructions?
Fine. You do just what he says.
In the meantime,
I'll map out a plan.
What was it?
As I was telling you, the Riddler
had someone impersonate me today.
I knew he'd get careless if he
thought we were out of the way.
But how do we stop him?
The clincher would be
to solve this last riddle.
"Why is a woman in
love like a welder?"
I'll bet that would tell us the
location of the bomb, all right.
Well, stop fiddling with that
atomic pile and come down here.
Two heads are better
than one, old chum.
Okay, I can't fix it
anyway, not without a torch.
Great Scott.
- A torch, that's it.
- Huh?
"Why is a woman in
love like a welder?"
Because they both carry a torch.
Holy conflagration.
The Torch Room at
the Queen of Freedom.
But how could the Riddler
place a bomb there?
He didn't. King Boris did.
What? King Boris?
I'll explain on the way.
Darkness falls over Gotham City.
But on a shadowy balcony in the Torch
Room of the Queen of Freedom Monument...
How does it look?
Two policemen came earlier.
They placed a black
bag down there, then left.
Good, good, perfect, perfect,
that's the money. Wonderful, won...
My friends, plan 136
AAA is about to begin.
- Mousey, you stay here and be the lookout.
- Good luck.
Onward.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Let's see the dough.
Not now, you dope. I have
to deactivate the bomb first.
Or do you want to be
blown to smithereens?
I'll just make...
The replica, it's gone.
"What squeals louder
than a caught rat?"
"Answer: several caught rats."
I've been out-riddled.
But the dough...
They foiled me
with my own trick.
That's the only way
we could smoke you out.
Is this what you're
looking for, Riddler?
Clever of you to place a time bomb
inside it when you kidnapped King Boris.
Knowing he was going to
present it here the following day.
Poor fellow was nothing
but an innocent stooge.
- But you're dead, Batman.
- Not quite.
We foiled your
villainous death plot.
- The bomb, it'll go off any second.
- Don't worry.
I deactivated it.
Now we're going
to deactivate you.
There are four of us against the
two of you, but we're not afraid.
I'll never understand why girls like
you get involved in things like this.
Kicks, I guess.
Been looking for them ever
since I dropped out of high school.
But I'm sort of glad
they didn't do you in.
Thank you.
Time to go, Riddler, to jail.
There's just nothing
like a good cup of tea.
Well, I'm off.
Where are you
going, Aunt Harriet?
Oh, I have some out-of-town friends
who are visiting Gotham City for the day.
I thought I'd take them to see
the Queen of Freedom Monument.
Say, would you like to join us?
No, thanks, Aunt Harriet.
I have some Wayne Foundation
business reports to go over.
- Perhaps Dick.
- No. I've got my algebra.
Well, all right, but
you're missing a treat.
- It's a very interesting place, you know.
- I'm sure it is, Aunt Harriet.
Probably more interesting
than you can imagine.
The algebra.
Aw.
visitor arriving in Gotham City.
A festive reception...
with greetings from the Riddler.
The Dynamic Duo to the rescue.
Solve the tricky riddle.
And then, a beauty queen...
robbed of her tiara.
Batman and Robin perplexed.
Champagne for everyone.
A vanishing king.
More riddles in his place.
The Caped Crusader and
the Boy Wonder on his trail.
Holy entanglement.
Trapped like flies.
Horrors strapped to the
Riddler's whirling wheels.
Can the Dynamic Duo
escape a spinning death?
Wait. The most fiendish...
is yet to come.
Robin, are you all right?
Robin.
Robin. Snap out of it, Robin.
Must've passed out.
Wow. That was like taking a hundred
rides on a supersonic rollercoaster.
One more revolution of that wheel
would have probably finished both of us.
What happened?
While they dragged
us down here...
some of the web-like material
tore away from my hand and waist.
I just barely managed to get the

You burned the armature
and short-circuited the power.
Golly, Batman, the
utility belt saves us again.

looking for, Riddler?
Clever of you to place a time bomb
inside it when you kidnapped King Boris.
Knowing he was going to
present it here the following day.
Poor fellow was nothing
but an innocent stooge.
- But you're dead, Batman.
- Not quite.
We foiled your
villainous death plot.
- The bomb, it'll go off any second.
- Don't worry.
I deactivated it.
Now we're going
to deactivate you.
There are four of us against the
two of you, but we're not afraid.
I'll never understand why girls like
you get involved in things like this.
Kicks, I guess.
Been looking for them ever
since I dropped out of high school.
But I'm sort of glad
they didn't do you in.
Thank you.
Time to go, Riddler, to jail.
There's just nothing
like a good cup of tea.
Well, I'm off.
Where are you
going, Aunt Harriet?
Oh, I have some out-of-town friends
who are visiting Gotham City for the day.
I thought I'd take them to see
the Queen of Freedom Monument.
Say, would you like to join us?
No, thanks, Aunt Harriet.
I have some Wayne Foundation
business reports to go over.
- Perhaps Dick.
- No. I've got my algebra.
Well, all right, but
you're missing a treat.
- It's a very interesting place, you know.
- I'm sure it is, Aunt Harriet.
Probably more interesting
than you can imagine.
The algebra.
Aw.
