Tom Blake, a wealthy animal trapper and big-cat expert, has become bored with his current profession and lifestyle. Blake decides to don a cat costume and become a thief, the Cat-Man. His first crime is at the opening of a museum. He tangles with Batman, but manages to succeed. After a few more scraps with the Dynamic Duo, Cat-Man is tracked to his lair and apparently perishes in an underground river.
