Synopsis:
Penguin devises a series of new tricks designed to appear to use futuristic technology. When Batman and Robin try to stop him, Penguin’s gang uses the tricks to battle them. The Dynamic Duo deduce the secrets behind the tricks which allow them to beat the gang. The Penguin does manage to escape with the loot.

Penguin then begins using robot-umbrellas to steal for him. Batman develops his own Bat-umbrella to strike back. He follows the loot back to Penguin’s lair, then battles a Penguin robot. While Batman is busy with the robot, Penguin tries to get the loot. However, Alfred was hidden in the Batmobile trunk and stops the thief before he can escape.
