Synopsis:
Alfred has fallen in love with the maid of a nearby socialite. He is so smitten that he begins neglecting his household duties. When he meets the maid, he tries to impress her by telling her that he is a close friend of Batman. When she demands proof, Alfred returns to Wayne Manor for a spare Batman costume. He then tricks the maid into believing that he is Batman. However, the maid is really Catwoman, so she captures him.

The real Batman and Robin deduce the maid's true identity from a poem Alfred has written. They realize Catwoman is using the servants of the wealthy to gain information for robberies. As Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, Batman and Robin visit the house they suspect Catwoman is using. They too are captured and reunited with Alfred.

While Catwoman robs Wayne Manor Alfred, Bruce, and Dick escape. The real Batman and Robin stop Catwoman's gang. Catwoman herself nearly escapes, until she happens across Alfred, who is still disguised as Batman. Alfred gives Catwoman a spanking, then turns her over to police.
