Synopsis:
Catwoman is angered when a best-selling book about female criminals contains no mention of her exploits. Actress Gala Kazon is hired to portray the famous villainesses on stage, so Catwoman sabotages the production. Batman and Robin try to stop Catwoman, going undercover on the set. Catwoman is captured and sent to prison, where she learns the book's author intended to write a separate book devoted entirely to Catwoman.
