This story is often incorrectly counted as the first silver age appearance of the Penguin. Penguin's true silver age debut was in the first story of Batman #99.

Synopsis:
The Penguin returns from semi-retirement after being mocked by members of the underworld. He challenges Batman during a crime spree, using bird-related crimes and clues. He reestablishes his reputation as one of Batman’s most brilliant villains, but he is eventually captured and sent to prison by the Dynamic Duo.
