Batman and Robin (1949) s01e02 Episode Script
Tunnel of terror
(Narrator) Batman and Robin
learn from a radio broadcast
that an attempt will be made to steal
some diamonds from a cargo plane.
Flying the plane, they out-distance
another which pursues them,
but are forced to earth by the
stolen remote control machine.
Yeah, these stones
are the real thing
Jimmy, tell headquarters
it's OK.
(Jimmy) Plane one calling headquarters.
Plane one calling headquarters.
Come in, plane one.
(Jimmy) We have the diamonds.
Splendid. We won't keep
Batman waiting any longer.
[Machine whirring]
[Clanging]
It'll blow!
[Engine revving]
What do we do now?
We get those diamonds back.
Hurry up, you guys, that
blast will bring the police.
Shove off.
Let's get out of here quick.
OK,
these diamonds will make a
nice present for the Wizard.
Did you hear that?
A good name to remember.
We may be closer to recovering
Hammil's stolen invention
than we think.
See anything?
Something that looked
like this.
Why, that looks
like the package of diamonds.
Or a reasonable facsimile.
Hold the fort, Robin.
Wish me luck.
[Shuddering]
What's eatin' you?
Oh, nothin'. Just
Just dreamin', I guess.
For a minute I got an idea
I Didn't have the diamonds.
[Sighing]
You take care of the plane.
We're expected at headquarters.
OK.
What was that?
I don't know,
but I'm goin' to find out.
Hey, John.
Somebody's been in here.
The exit door is unlocked.
Let's go out and take a look.
Right.
They went through here,
followin' this path.
(Batman) Looks like a dead end.
Nowhere to go but off.
They couldn't have
come this far.
Maybe we missed a side trail.
[Alarm beeping]
[Machine whirring]
Pretty smart arrangement.
Yeah, but I'd like it better
if I knew where this sub went.
Maybe some island
off the coast.
All you have to know is
that it takes you to the
headquarters of the Wizard.
[Alarm beeping]
Jimmy, you stay here.
[Buzzing]
Here are the diamonds.
Batman and Robin
were destroyed.
Hmm. Excellent,
(Nolan) Seal of the Batman!
Hmm.
And a lot of worthless pebbles.
It couldn't have happened.
I had 'em all the time.
Never mind the excuses.
And Batman is still alive.
Recognize that place?
Well, looks like Hammil's home.
The man who invented
the remote control machine.
What about it?
Nothing. Just a coincidence
that it's located so close
to where we lost the trail
of those men.
[Woman screams]
That scream came from the
grounds of Hammil's estate
[Tires screeching]
[Woman screams]
What's the meaning of this?
Miss Vale evidently walked
into your man-trap.
Serves her right.
Intruders have
no business here.
And you've no business having
these dangerous devices around.
Maybe you're right.
But it's my only protection.
My work is most important.
I'm sorry, young lady.
If you've suffered any harm,
I'll gladly pay for it.
Gee, what a character.
I suppose you came here just
to steal a few pictures.
Well, Hammil's big news
these days.
You'd better let us
escort you out of here.
We're on our way to report
to commissioner Gordon.
There's still no trace of that
plane you stowed away in.
Its license belonged to a job
that was burned in a crackup
several months ago.
But we'll find it, just as
You found these diamonds.
I'd still like to know where
Barry Brown got that news
he broadcast
about the diamond theft.
So would I, but he still refuses to
reveal any of his trade secrets.
Look.
It's Dunne, the private eye.
I wonder what he's been up to,
leavin' Brown's apartment?
We can follow him and find out.
But you're supposed
to see Brown.
That can wait.
We can hear the broadcast
while we're drivin'.
It's time
for Brown's broadcast.
(Barry) This is Barry Brown,
reporting another exclusive.
Information reaches me that the
vital remote control machine,
the theft of which
I alone predicted,
is to be used again
to aid in robbing a shipment
leaving by train
from Gotham City today.
And now, a peek
at the foreign news.
Is he kidding?
What does that look like?
Dunne's stopping
near the railroad yards.
What can we do about it?
You wait in the car.
I'll tail Dunne on foot.
What were those men after?
They were lookin'
for information
about a shipment
of that new X-90,
a high explosive that was
aboard the special express.
They stole the manifest.
I tried to stop the train,
but it was too late.
Are you OK?
Sure, thanks.
[Train horn blows]
Barry Brown sure
had his facts straight.
An attempt will be made
to steal that shipment.
It's all ready left
aboard a special train.
Headquarters to Nolan.
Headquarters to Nolan.
(Wizard) Headquarters to Nolan.
This is Nolan.
I've been informed that the shipment
of X-90 is on a special train
which will pass
junction R at 4:30.
I'll stop the train there,
so you can board it.
From there on,
follow previous orders.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
[Train horn blowing]
[Machine whirring]
We'll board the train here
when the Wizard slows it down.
You pick us up as planned.
[Train horn blaring]
[Train stopping]
[Train horn blaring]
(Narrator) Will Robin
have to carry on alone?
What startling development
has Vicki discovered?
learn from a radio broadcast
that an attempt will be made to steal
