Batman Cast

Holy Spaghetti Westerns! That criminal cowboy, Shame, and his gang of outlaws, Okie Annie, Messy James, and Rip Snorting, concoct a plan to construct a super-powered truck capable of outracing even the Batmobile. To get the parts for the vehicle, the crooks head for the ‘Gotham City 500 Road Race’ and steal a racing car as it goes round the track; then, when Shame returns to his hideout at the abandoned Westernland Amusement Park, he meets Andy, a young boy dressed as a cowboy. After Batman and Robin deduce Shame's scheme they decide to set a trap: appearing on DJ Hot Rod Harry’s radio show as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, they discuss the new parts added to the Wayne Limousine. Shame hears the broadcast on Andy's radio and immediately plots to hijack the vehicle; as Bruce, Dick and chauffeur Alfred go for a drive, they are stopped by a cow in the middle of the road; but as they prepare to move the belligerent bovine, Shame and his posse appear and promptly steal the limo. They are unaware that the Dynamic Duo have coated the car’s tires with Infrared Batdust, and are now on the trail of the stolen vehicle…
