Synopsis:
Gotham is plagued by a new criminal known as the King of Cats. After a string of successful robberies by the crook, Batman seeks advice from Selina Kyle. Selina is troubled by the situation. Batman believes the new crook is courting Selina. When the King of Cats visits Selina's shop, Batman attempts to apprehend him, but Selina stops him.

Batman deduces the criminal's next target. During a confrontation, two caged jungle cats are released. One pursues Batman. The other goes after the King of Cats. Catwoman arrives and saves both men from the cats. Catwoman then reveals that the crook is her brother Karl. She convinces him to turn himself in.
