PLOT SUMMARIES:

Catwoman Goes to College:
The Catwoman leaves jail and is turned over to her parole officer - Bruce Wayne. She immediately enrolls as a criminology major at Gotham City University. Aided by 3 overage freshmen named Brown, Cornell, and Penn, she arranges for the lifesized statue of Batman to be stolen from the university rotunda. Alerted by Gordon to the theft of the statue, The Dynamic Duo arrive on the scene. While The Caped Crusader examines the only clue to the theft, a freshman beanie containing a single red hair, The Catwoman uses the stolen statue as the model for a Batman costume for Cornell, who so costumed is an exact double for The Caped Crusader. The next day, Batman gives a lecture in criminology to Catwoman's class, where he gives a complete description of the statue thief. Believing Batman is on to him, Penn makes his escape as Catwoman secretly rings the class bell.

Later, when The Batman and The Catwoman are sharing a soda at The Sweet Shoppe, a local school hangout, Robin The Boy Wonder informs The Caped Crusader about the recent robbery of a supermarket by a crook wearing a Batman suit. Before he can investigate, Captain Courageous, a newly arrived police officer from California has him arrested. While Batman waits in jail, Catwoman incites a student riot. Alfred, disguised as Batman's lawyer, arrives at the Gotham jail with a Batmakeup case, and, after a quick switch, Batman leaves the jail disguised as Alfred. That night at a rally in Chime Square, The Felonious Feline captures The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder, deposits them inside a giant coffee cup, and activates the mechanical percolator that, in a matter of moments, will liquidate our heroes with deadly sulphuric acid!

Batman Displays His Knowledge :
As the acid begins to spill out of the pot's spout, Batman positions his hand under the flow so that the first few drops of acid will burn away his bonds. Then, using The Batrope, he switches off the master switch. Meanwhile, Catwoman and her men have managed to steal the rare Batagonian Cat's Eye Opals from The Forever Jewel Company. They take them to French Freddy Touche, a well-known fence who runs a fencing school, in the hopes of selling them on the black market. Freddy knows that the opals are supposed to be jinxed and refuses to take them.

Later, while trying to convince Catwoman to return the opals for the reward, Freddy discovers that the gems are fakes, created by Batman. Infuriated, Catwoman invites Batman to meet her alone at the model home of The Sherlock Holmes Real Estate Development at midnight. Arriving at the house, Catwoman tries to kill Batman with poisonous perfume, but Batman suspects the trouble and protected himself by putting Batplugs in his Batnostrils, thus foiling her scheme. Catwoman calls for her cleverly hidden henchmen to finish him off. Robin quickly appears, and together The Dynamic Duo rout the roughians. Bruce returns Catowman to Gotham State Pen; she tells him her heart is for Batman.
