Holy Entrapments! Learning that Alfred Pennyworth is arranging the meal at the Multimillionaires' Annual Award Dinner, the nefarious Penguin lures the stalwart butler to a fake fish shop selling cut-price caviar, kidnaps him and then subjects him to brainwashing, in an attempt to discover the dinner's secret location and the identity of the bathing beauty chosen to accept the award money for this year's honoured charity. Alfred is then returned home before he can be missed, and without the slightest recollection of his ordeal. However, Batman and Robin become suspicious after noting the butler’s nervous tics, and on finding a fishhook in his morning coat. Deducing the Penguin’s involvement, Batman surmises that the fishy fowl’s hideout is located on a fishing pier owned by one Knott A. Fish (not a fish…). But when the Dynamic Duo investigate they are captured by the Penguin and his Finks and imprisoned inside a vacuum tank filled with balloons - which swiftly begins to suffocate them to death…
