Synopsis:
Catwoman gives up her life of crime and reforms. She has fallen in love with Batman and decides to impress him by becoming a crimefighter too. She sees Batgirl as a rival for Batman's affection, so while stopping several robberies, Catwoman also tries to make a fool out of Batgirl.

After proving herself to be a superior crimefighter than her rival, Catwoman expects Batman to propose. When he doesn't Catwoman gives him an ultimatum. He must marry her, or she will return to crime. Batman still refuses, so she captures the Caped Crusader along with Robin and Batgirl.

Catwoman then returns to crime. She offers Batman a last chance to change his mind, but he has already escaped her trap with Batgirl's help. Catwoman is defeated and returns to jail.
