Batman and Robin see the Penguin and follow him to his hide-out. A lightning bolt saves the Penguin from capture, but destroys the hide-out and his trick umbrellas. Penguin then sets out to commit crimes using umbrellas that are not umbrellas.

Batman tries to figure out Penguin's plans. Playing a hunch, Batman stakes out the Gotham Fair. Penguin strikes several times, but Batman is only able to capture one of the crook's henchmen. Batman takes the man to the Bat-Cave for interrigation. When the crook finally talks, Batman is able to learn where Penguin will strike again. Batman then apprehends his nemesis.
