Synopsis:
After stopping two purse snatchers in Robinson Park, Batman discovers a body which was mauled by an animal. Batman and the police begin hunting the animal. Reporter Sara Dulman publicly places the blame on Catwoman. The real culprit is Rasputin, a Siberian tiger which escaped from Thomas Blake, the Catman.

Batman and Catman both find the tiger. When Batman is briefly knocked out, Blake ties him up and lets his tiger attack. Meanwhile, Catwoman finds them and chases off Blake. Batman then defeats the tiger. Catwoman then scares the reporter who blamed her for the incident.
