'Hot Off the Griddle' Story Code '9703-Part 1' by Stanley Ralph Ross

Holy Purr-fectionists! Catwoman returns to Gotham City to open a school to teach cat burglars, and despatches her Catmen, John, Charles, and Thomas, to steal a catalogue, a catamaran, and three mittens. Batman and Robin elicit the aid of gossip columnist Jack O'Shea to help trap the felonious feline, getting him to write a fake story concerning a rare canary on display at the Natural History Museum; however, O’Shea is actually in cahoots with Catwoman, and he informs her of the Caped Crusader’s plot. When the Dynamic Duo begin their stakeout at the museum they are quickly overpowered by the cat burglars, who shoot them with tranquiliser darts and then throw them out of a window. Luckily, the two superheroes fall into a safety net, which they set up just in case the canary fell to its doom. After capturing one of the thugs, and then getting a clue from a new single called "The Catusi" by Benedict Arnold and the Traitors, Batman and Robin follow the trail to Cabwoman’s hideout at a nightclub called The Pink Sand Box; but they are soon trapped by a revolving booth and swung into a room with red-hot metal floor, forcing them to dance the hot-foot…
