Batman Cast

Holy Hoof Prints! Shame has staked Batman and Robin to the ground directly in the path of a herd of stampeding cattle. But the vibrations of the bovines’ hooves shake loose the stake holding Batman's wrists, allowing him to leap to his feet and use his cape as a matador would to guide the cows away from his trusty chum. The Dynamic Duo contact Hot Rod Harry, who in turn refers them to Laughing Leo, a used-car salesman and secret informant to Shame. However, when the two heroes question the car dealer he gives nothing away; as the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder leave, Leo contacts Shame with the news that the two crime fighters have escaped his death-trap, causing the enraged cowboy to fire his guns in frustration. Batman and Robin return to Westernland, only to be ambushed with a hail of bullets by Shame and his gang of outlaws; when Robin is shot in the heel, Batman is forced to retreat and take his sidekick back to the Batcave for treatment. Meanwhile, Shame plans to steal four prize Black Angus bulls, each worth $300,000, from a rodeo to be held that afternoon…
