Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe story for this adventure is taken from Ed Herron's Penguin story in Batman 169 (Feb 1965), "Partners in Plunder". The only addition by the show's producers was the sub-plot involving Hollywood star Dawn Robbins (Leslie Parrish). The rest follows the comic book story closely.
- GoofsWhen Batman puts the faulty umbrellas under the asbestos blanket and they begin going off, a wire can be seen holding the blanket.
- Quotes
Dick Grayson: Oh, heck! What's the use of learning French anyway?
Bruce Wayne: Dick, I am surprised at you. Language is the key to world peace. If we all spoke each other's tongues, perhaps the scourge of war would be ended forever.
Dick Grayson: Gosh, Bruce, yes. I'll get these darn verbs if they kill me.
Featured review
My Vote for Best Episode
This episode features not only the first appearance of Burgess Meredith's unforgettable Penguin, but maybe the tightest script the show ever got.
In brief, the Penguin has announced he's gone straight (a trick he often pulled in both the comics and the show) and opens up an umbrella shop. In reality, he's scheming to get back into crime by having Batman plan his heists for him! How the Penguin does this, and how Batman ultimately foils him, make this one Batman episode that is more than just a series of fights in-between jokes. It has a beginning, a middle and an end, and they're all good.
It also doesn't hurt that it features Leslie Parrish, one of the most gorgeous female guest stars ever.
