(male narrator)
Midnight Gotham City.
The very dead of night.

00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:14,743
The Green Hornet and Kato
5
00:00:14,745 --> 00:00:18,113
outside the Pink Chip
Stamp Factory.
6
00:00:18,115 --> 00:00:20,515
Something must be
very much amiss
7
00:00:20,517 --> 00:00:23,784
inside the Pink Chip
Stamp Factory.
8
00:00:23,786 --> 00:00:27,788
For them to invade
Batman's territory.
9
00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:31,725
A long way
from home indeed.
10
00:00:35,362 --> 00:00:41,533
And for a peephole to snap shut
in their faces at midnight.
11
00:00:42,368 --> 00:00:44,369
We have visitors, Boss.
12
00:00:44,371 --> 00:00:46,504
What? In the middle
of my midnight snack?
13
00:00:46,506 --> 00:00:48,506
I've just warmed up
this alphabet soup.
14
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:52,243
- Masked visitors.
- Batman and Robin?
15
00:00:52,245 --> 00:00:53,544
- Not Batman and Robin.
- Who are you?
16
00:00:53,546 --> 00:00:57,281
What do you want? If you're
interested in trading stamps.
17
00:00:57,283 --> 00:00:57,814
We might be.
18
00:00:57,816 --> 00:01:00,349
Then visit one of our
outlets in the morning.
19
00:01:00,351 --> 00:01:03,719
This is the factory.
That sign on the outer door.
20
00:01:03,721 --> 00:01:06,788
"This means you."
Means you!
21
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:08,189
Throw 'em out.
22
00:01:08,191 --> 00:01:11,192
[intense music]
23
00:01:14,796 --> 00:01:17,197
Why leave?
We had them reeling.
24
00:01:17,199 --> 00:01:18,498
We saw enough Kato.
25
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,734
I think at last we found
what we've been looking for.
26
00:01:21,736 --> 00:01:24,803
Tomorrow night
we'll wrap everything up.
27
00:01:29,742 --> 00:01:34,178
Then in the rosy
fingered morn.
28
00:01:38,683 --> 00:01:41,651
Who were your two visitors
last night, Colonel Gumm?
29
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:45,655
Uh, just a couple of hoods,
Miss Pinkston.
30
00:01:45,657 --> 00:01:47,490
I chased them away.
31
00:01:47,492 --> 00:01:48,657
Hoods, Colonel Gumm?
32
00:01:48,659 --> 00:01:51,826
In fancy clothes and
a big black limousine?
33
00:01:51,828 --> 00:01:54,762
I saw them arrive through
my apartment window.
34
00:01:54,764 --> 00:01:58,632
But of course it was
too late to come down.
35
00:02:04,672 --> 00:02:09,375
Commissioner Gordon, please.
This is Pinky Pinkston calling.
36
00:02:09,377 --> 00:02:10,409
No, Miss Pinkston!
37
00:02:10,411 --> 00:02:12,677
Colonel Gumm doesn't
seem to understand
38
00:02:12,679 --> 00:02:15,246
that I own
this factory, Apricot.
39
00:02:15,248 --> 00:02:18,215
He may be the foreman
but I am the boss.
40
00:02:18,217 --> 00:02:21,218
Let the police handle the
masked intruders, Colonel Gumm.
41
00:02:21,220 --> 00:02:24,721
You have enough to do
printing Pink Chip stamps.
42
00:02:24,723 --> 00:02:27,690
Hello, Miss Pinkston,
what can I do for you?
43
00:02:27,692 --> 00:02:29,291
Two strange men invaded
44
00:02:29,293 --> 00:02:31,760
my factory last night,
commissioner.
45
00:02:31,762 --> 00:02:32,894
'My foreman threw them out.'
46
00:02:32,896 --> 00:02:35,863
But I am running
a legitimate business here
47
00:02:35,865 --> 00:02:37,231
and I may need your help.
48
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:40,234
Well, of course.
Can you describe the interloper?
49
00:02:40,236 --> 00:02:42,769
[indistinct chatter on phone]
50
00:02:42,771 --> 00:02:44,771
What?
51
00:02:45,339 --> 00:02:46,839
What?
52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,476
While from a pink factory
with a green intruder.
53
00:02:51,478 --> 00:02:55,813
We go to brick colored
stately Wayne Manor.
54
00:02:55,815 --> 00:02:58,515
And a red Bat-phone.
55
00:02:58,517 --> 00:03:00,250
[beeping]
56
00:03:00,252 --> 00:03:03,453
This new stamp you've
added to your collection
57
00:03:03,455 --> 00:03:05,254
is beautiful, Bruce.
58
00:03:05,256 --> 00:03:06,888
Supposedly it's
a very rare issue.
59
00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:09,624
The famous blue boar
Russian Samara.
60
00:03:09,626 --> 00:03:14,495
But I...have my doubts
about the watermark.
61
00:03:14,497 --> 00:03:15,629
Watermark?
62
00:03:15,631 --> 00:03:17,831
Yes, this one's
barely visible.
63
00:03:17,833 --> 00:03:19,199
Ahem!
64
00:03:19,201 --> 00:03:22,569
- Yes, Alfred.
- The red phone, sir.
65
00:03:22,770 --> 00:03:25,905
Dick, perhaps we can give blue
boar a closer examination
66
00:03:25,907 --> 00:03:27,673
under the microscope
in the study.
67
00:03:27,675 --> 00:03:31,209
Oh, Bruce, don't forget
you have a luncheon date
68
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,611
with that
sweet Miss Pinkston.
69
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:34,345
[phone ringing]
70
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:37,314
(Bruce)
'Yes, Aunt Harriet.'
71
00:03:37,715 --> 00:03:39,348
Hello?
72
00:03:39,582 --> 00:03:42,717
- Britt Reid?
- Yes, Mrs. Cooper.
73
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:43,784
I'm in Gotham City for
74
00:03:43,786 --> 00:03:45,252
the newspaper
publisher's convention.
75
00:03:45,254 --> 00:03:48,455
Wanted to say hello
to you and speak to Bruce.
76
00:03:48,457 --> 00:03:50,690
Just a moment, Mr. Reid.
77
00:03:50,692 --> 00:03:53,192
- Alfred..
- Oh..
78
00:03:53,194 --> 00:03:53,825
Yes, commissioner.
79
00:03:53,827 --> 00:03:56,194
We have strong reason to
believe that arch criminal
80
00:03:56,196 --> 00:03:59,564
the Green Hornet is operating
in Gotham City, Batman.
81
00:03:59,566 --> 00:04:00,498
We'll run wide open.
82
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,534
I'm sorry to interrupt you,
sir, at a moment like this.
83
00:04:03,536 --> 00:04:05,402
But Mr. Britt Reid's
on the other telephone.
84
00:04:05,404 --> 00:04:07,637
- He's in town and--
- Find out where he's staying.
85
00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:11,707
And tell him I'll call him
later. To the Bat-poles!

Commissioner Gordon's office
in double quick time
101
00:05:29,708 --> 00:05:33,576
Britt Reid's making
a little time of his own.

Or trying to.

00:05:34,579 --> 00:05:37,713
What do you mean you have a
luncheon date with Bruce Wayne?
104
00:05:37,715 --> 00:05:40,749
It's the only free time
I have during the convention.
105
00:05:40,751 --> 00:05:44,452
Well, I do, Britt,
and I can't break it.
106
00:05:44,454 --> 00:05:45,719
Why don't you
join us, Britt?
107
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:48,321
After all, Bruce is
a friend of yours too.
108
00:05:48,323 --> 00:05:51,057
Hmm, not where you're
concerned, Pinky.
109
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:53,392
I thrive on rivalry.
110
00:05:53,394 --> 00:05:54,893
So don't be stubborn.
111
00:05:54,895 --> 00:05:57,028
The camellia room, 12:30?
112
00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:57,995
Alright, you know me.

'I'll be the one dressed
as the green eyed monster.'
114
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,435
Guess, you can't win
them all, Mr. Reid.
115
00:06:06,437 --> 00:06:08,970
Ever since Bruce Wayne
I were kids
116
00:06:08,972 --> 00:06:12,073
we've been rivals
in one way or another.

Because the rumor is out.
121
00:06:21,649 --> 00:06:24,516
The Green Hornet
is in our fair city
122
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:26,084
for a piece of the action.
123
00:06:26,086 --> 00:06:30,955
A piece of the action at
the Pink Chip Stamp Factory.
124
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:33,090
That seems strange.
125
00:06:33,092 --> 00:06:35,592
With his heinous
reputation for high stakes
126
00:06:35,594 --> 00:06:38,861
a cut of a trading stamps
factory would seem like
127
00:06:38,863 --> 00:06:40,662
'somewhat of a come down.'
128
00:06:40,664 --> 00:06:42,430
Maybe he was looking
for something else
129
00:06:42,432 --> 00:06:46,066
at the Pink Chip
Stamp Factory, Batman.
130
00:06:46,068 --> 00:06:48,868
The Gotham Gothic?

00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:53,405

Pinkus Pinkston..

00:06:53,407 --> 00:06:54,339
May he rest in peace.
133
00:06:54,341 --> 00:06:57,075
...was one of Gotham City's
foremost stamp collectors.
134
00:06:57,077 --> 00:07:00,011
And the most valuable
stamp in his collection
135
00:07:00,013 --> 00:07:02,646
was the famous
Gotham Gothic.
136
00:07:02,648 --> 00:07:03,847
Sure, worth a fortune.
137
00:07:03,849 --> 00:07:08,818
But it disappeared mysteriously
shortly after he died.
138
00:07:08,820 --> 00:07:10,352
[phone buzzing]
139
00:07:10,354 --> 00:07:11,920
Yes, Bonnie.

00:07:11,922 --> 00:07:14,555
'Oh, send him, Bonnie.'
141
00:07:14,956 --> 00:07:16,756
An important out-of-town
newspaper publisher
142
00:07:16,758 --> 00:07:20,659
who I'm sure would be honored
to meet you, Batman.
143
00:07:20,661 --> 00:07:23,028
Ah! Mr. Reid!
144
00:07:26,432 --> 00:07:27,999
- Commissioner.
- Come in. Good to see you.
145
00:07:28,001 --> 00:07:30,701
- Good to see you.
- And as luck would have it..
146
00:07:30,703 --> 00:07:32,803
Our famed caped crusaders,
Batman and Robin.
147
00:07:32,805 --> 00:07:34,638
- Batman
- Welcome, Mr. Reid.
148
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,039
- Thank you. Robin.
- How do you do.
149
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:38,841
- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you, commissioner.
150
00:07:38,843 --> 00:07:41,510
We have a mutual
friend, Batman.
151
00:07:41,512 --> 00:07:46,047
Millionaire Bruce Wayne. In fact
I'm having lunch with him today.
152
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:48,849
Oh, give him my regards.
153
00:07:48,851 --> 00:07:50,851
We were just discussing
a criminal, Mr. Reid
154
00:07:50,853 --> 00:07:52,986
with whom you are
no doubt, familiar.
155
00:07:52,988 --> 00:07:55,421
The Green Hornet
from your own bailiwick.
156
00:07:55,423 --> 00:07:57,122
'And just between
us boys, Mr. Reid'
157
00:07:57,124 --> 00:08:00,959
we have reason to suspect he'll
be pulling some shenanigans
158
00:08:00,961 --> 00:08:02,427
in our own bailiwick.
159
00:08:02,429 --> 00:08:05,763
The Green Hornet?
In Gotham City?
160
00:08:05,765 --> 00:08:07,531
Well, that shouldn't
disturb you, Batman.
161
00:08:07,533 --> 00:08:11,735
Your name is legend
among crime fighters.
162
00:08:12,036 --> 00:08:15,104
Legends are sometimes
highly overrated, Mr. Reid.
163
00:08:15,106 --> 00:08:18,507
T'will be the Green Hornet
who's overrated, Batman.
164
00:08:18,509 --> 00:08:21,042
If he tries to tangle
with you and Robin.
165
00:08:21,044 --> 00:08:23,911
For which we must
prepare ourselves.
166
00:08:23,913 --> 00:08:26,980
- Excuse us, Mr. Reid.
- Of course.
167
00:08:26,982 --> 00:08:29,148
We must get back
to the Bat-cave.
168
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:31,083
Sure, Batman,
maybe the Bat-computer
169
00:08:31,085 --> 00:08:35,787
can tell us a little more
about our pea green adversary.
170
00:08:38,590 --> 00:08:42,960
I'm very disappointed
in these, Reprint.
171
00:08:42,962 --> 00:08:45,662
For someone who has advanced
from manufacturing
172
00:08:45,664 --> 00:08:47,063
Pink Chip stamps
to fine art of
173
00:08:47,065 --> 00:08:49,565
counterfeiting
priceless rare stamps
174
00:08:49,567 --> 00:08:50,866
your work has
become slipshod.
175
00:08:50,868 --> 00:08:53,969
Here, look at this overprint.
Tsk-tsk-tsk! Fuzzy.
176
00:08:53,971 --> 00:08:57,005
- Any expert could spot that.
- So I goofed.
177
00:08:57,007 --> 00:08:58,539
Which we cannot
afford, Reprint.
178
00:08:58,541 --> 00:09:02,609
We have a lot to do
in a very short time.
179
00:09:02,611 --> 00:09:03,643
How short, Colonel Gumm?
180
00:09:03,645 --> 00:09:05,011
Tonight and tomorrow,
Cancelled.
181
00:09:05,013 --> 00:09:06,712
Then we move everything
into the warehouse.
182
00:09:06,714 --> 00:09:10,182
Tomorrow night is the great
international stamps exhibition.
183
00:09:10,184 --> 00:09:13,785
Where I plan
to make my big kill.
184
00:09:14,653 --> 00:09:17,087
We sure oughta win some
of the prizes, colonel.
185
00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:19,222
Winning prizes is not
what I'm after, Block.
186
00:09:19,224 --> 00:09:21,558
It's walking away
with some of the rarest
187
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,860
and most irreplaceable
stamps in the world.
188
00:09:23,862 --> 00:09:24,760
[doorbell ringing]
189
00:09:24,762 --> 00:09:27,929
Oops. There comes
the Pink Prima-donna
190
00:09:27,931 --> 00:09:29,730
down her private stairway.
191
00:09:29,732 --> 00:09:33,033
Look busy.
And honest.
192
00:09:38,005 --> 00:09:41,107
[instrumental music]
193
00:09:50,684 --> 00:09:54,053
Colonel Gumm, have you heard
the latest news broadcast?
194
00:09:54,055 --> 00:09:57,656
Uh, no, Miss Pinkston.
I've been too busy.
195
00:09:57,658 --> 00:09:59,357
Oh, isn't that
a shame, Apricot.
196
00:09:59,359 --> 00:10:03,027
Colonel Gumm has been too busy
manufacturing Pink Chips Stamps
197
00:10:03,029 --> 00:10:06,063
to know that this morning's
intruders may have been
198
00:10:06,065 --> 00:10:09,866
The Green Hornet
and his masked accomplice.
199
00:10:10,267 --> 00:10:12,901
What would they be doing
in Gotham City?
200
00:10:12,903 --> 00:10:17,639
What would they be doing
in my factory, Apricot?
201
00:10:25,047 --> 00:10:28,682
I will be lunching
in town, Colonel Gumm.
202
00:10:36,390 --> 00:10:37,623
I wish she'd stop talking
203
00:10:37,625 --> 00:10:39,725
to that pink mutt
and talk to me.
204
00:10:39,727 --> 00:10:41,960
I think she was
talking to you, boss.
205
00:10:41,962 --> 00:10:43,795
Well, I'll soon find out.
206
00:10:43,797 --> 00:10:44,829
How, colonel?
207
00:10:44,831 --> 00:10:47,932
As you boys grow older
and more experienced
208
00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:54,805
you'll find there's more than
one way to skin a pink cat.
209
00:10:59,911 --> 00:11:03,380
Fine time for the
Bat-computer to let us down.
210
00:11:03,382 --> 00:11:05,215
It's not the machine's
fault, old chum.
211
00:11:05,217 --> 00:11:08,718
We overlooked one thing
when we constructed it.
212
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,153
A dual identity Bat-sensor.
213
00:11:11,155 --> 00:11:12,053
Holy oversight!
214
00:11:12,055 --> 00:11:15,122
So we can't really blame our
faithful friend here
215
00:11:15,124 --> 00:11:16,123
for failing to provide us
216
00:11:16,125 --> 00:11:18,725
with the clues we need
about the The Green Hornet.
217
00:11:18,727 --> 00:11:23,396
No human mind has solved the
secret of our own duplicity.
218
00:11:23,398 --> 00:11:27,666
Who in reality
are Batman and Robin?
219
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:31,436
It heard you. It's trying!
220
00:11:31,438 --> 00:11:33,371
[Bat-computer dinging]
221
00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:37,942
Not much of an answer.
222
00:11:37,944 --> 00:11:39,043
Cold crime fighters.
223
00:11:39,045 --> 00:11:40,110
Real identities unknown.
224
00:11:40,112 --> 00:11:43,680
The next time were in town,
we'll pick up the parts
225
00:11:43,682 --> 00:11:45,848
for a dual identity Bat-sensor.
226
00:11:46,916 --> 00:11:49,717
Now, it's time
for Bruce Wayne's lunch date
227
00:11:49,719 --> 00:11:50,784
with Pinky Pinkston.
228
00:11:50,786 --> 00:11:54,854
And Dick Grayson's session
with his French tutor.
229
00:11:54,856 --> 00:11:55,821
French tutor?
230
00:11:55,823 --> 00:11:59,357
That's one trouble
with dual identities, Robin.
231
00:11:59,359 --> 00:12:02,460
Dual responsibilities.
232
00:12:22,914 --> 00:12:24,848
Oh, that is beautiful.
233
00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:27,183
Beautiful! What's it called?
234
00:12:27,185 --> 00:12:28,384
Shirley.
235
00:12:28,386 --> 00:12:30,786
A peignoir named Shirley?
236
00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:32,954
No, I'm Shirley.
237
00:12:32,956 --> 00:12:34,956
Lingerie bazaar.
238
00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:36,924
Off at six.
239
00:12:37,125 --> 00:12:40,894
We're completing
neglecting Britt.
240
00:12:40,896 --> 00:12:43,196
No, I got the message, Pinky.
241
00:12:43,198 --> 00:12:46,432
Would I supply the third
corner of today's triangle
242
00:12:46,434 --> 00:12:51,937
to tell you what I might
know about The Green Hornet.
243
00:12:51,939 --> 00:12:53,138
Yes, very lovely.
244
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:54,839
What size is it?
245
00:12:54,841 --> 00:13:00,311
555-55-55.
246
00:13:00,313 --> 00:13:04,214
Size five million five hundred
and fifty five thousand
247
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:07,250
five hundred fifty five.
248
00:13:07,252 --> 00:13:10,853
No, that's my telephone number.
249
00:13:10,855 --> 00:13:12,221
Ask for June.
250
00:13:12,223 --> 00:13:15,424
I do wish you two would
quit flirting with models
251
00:13:15,426 --> 00:13:17,426
and pay a little
attention to me.
252
00:13:17,428 --> 00:13:19,094
Britt's doing all the flirting.
253
00:13:19,096 --> 00:13:20,929
I'm outside feeding the dog.
254
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:26,134
You can't expect me to devote
my entire time to you, Bruce.
255
00:13:26,136 --> 00:13:26,901
Why not?
256
00:13:26,903 --> 00:13:28,769
'Because Britt's here too.'
257
00:13:28,771 --> 00:13:32,906
That's right I am.
258
00:13:32,908 --> 00:13:34,908
Well, where were we?
259
00:13:34,910 --> 00:13:37,210
I'll line up Batman
in case Green Hornet
260
00:13:37,212 --> 00:13:39,245
decides to invade
your factory tonight.
261
00:13:39,247 --> 00:13:43,282
And I'm to find out
what The Green Hornet is up to
262
00:13:43,284 --> 00:13:44,182
in Gotham City.
263
00:13:44,184 --> 00:13:45,349
(Pinky)
'Oh, will you?'
264
00:13:45,351 --> 00:13:48,285
'I have so much at stake
at that factory.'
265
00:13:48,287 --> 00:13:50,520
I don't want any trouble.
266
00:13:50,522 --> 00:13:52,188
I'll deliver Batman..
267
00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:54,123
...if I can reach him,
of course.
268
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:55,824
And all information
on The Green Hornet
269
00:13:55,826 --> 00:14:00,261
will be transmitted,
if I can get any.
270
00:14:00,263 --> 00:14:02,196
But aren't you mixing business--
271
00:14:02,198 --> 00:14:03,864
With pleasure, Pinky?
272
00:14:03,866 --> 00:14:07,434
Business is my pleasure,
darlings.
273
00:14:07,436 --> 00:14:08,435
Thank you.
274
00:14:08,437 --> 00:14:12,038
Well, Apricot,
time for your pedicure.
275
00:14:14,441 --> 00:14:15,207
Come on, Apricot.
276
00:14:15,209 --> 00:14:17,909
You boys can fight
over the check.
277
00:14:17,911 --> 00:14:18,943
Good day.
278
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:20,110
Goodbye, Pinky.
279
00:14:20,112 --> 00:14:22,078
Good day, Pinky.
280
00:14:23,346 --> 00:14:25,513
Whose idea was this?
281
00:14:25,515 --> 00:14:29,884
Pinky invited me to lunch
and you invited her.
282
00:14:29,886 --> 00:14:31,051
Thank you.
283
00:14:31,053 --> 00:14:32,986
Oh, oh, oh.
284
00:14:32,988 --> 00:14:34,354
- I'm sorry, sir.
- Hmm, hmm?
285
00:14:34,356 --> 00:14:35,955
The only alphabet soup we have
286
00:14:35,957 --> 00:14:38,924
is tomato, split pea
and clam chowder.
287
00:14:38,926 --> 00:14:39,958
Oh, too bad.
288
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,860
You colonials are still
so uncivilized.
289
00:14:42,862 --> 00:14:46,163
Well, I suppose
I must go elsewhere.
290
00:14:51,035 --> 00:14:52,435
I have to drop by stamp dealer.
291
00:14:52,437 --> 00:14:55,271
He's a nice, old gentle men
named Boris Severoff.
292
00:14:55,273 --> 00:14:56,372
Though, I think he sold me
293
00:14:56,374 --> 00:14:58,240
a bogus Blue Boar
from Russian Samara.
294
00:14:58,242 --> 00:15:01,276
I've been having the same
trouble with my collection too.
295
00:15:01,278 --> 00:15:03,144
Paid a fancy price
for some stamps
296
00:15:03,146 --> 00:15:05,079
that I don't think
have a fancy value.
297
00:15:05,081 --> 00:15:07,281
- Why don't you come along?
- Sure, love to.
298
00:15:07,283 --> 00:15:09,149
I don't have anything
to do tonight
299
00:15:09,151 --> 00:15:10,917
until the
Publisher's Convention.
300
00:15:10,919 --> 00:15:14,987
I'd invite you to that
but it's closed to visitors.
301
00:15:14,989 --> 00:15:15,487
Same with me.
302
00:15:15,489 --> 00:15:21,059
Meeting of the Wayne Foundation.
Board members only.
303
00:15:27,466 --> 00:15:31,235
Ul, da, da, da.
Yes, of course, Mr. Wayne.
304
00:15:31,237 --> 00:15:34,204
The watermark on your
Blue Boar stamp
305
00:15:34,206 --> 00:15:36,573
is indistinct but naturally.
306
00:15:36,575 --> 00:15:38,608
Do you realize that only twelve
307
00:15:38,610 --> 00:15:41,243
of those stamps
were ever printed
308
00:15:41,245 --> 00:15:44,379
and that was over
100 years ago.
309
00:15:44,381 --> 00:15:47,248
And of course Russian Samara
310
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:49,516
is a long way off.
311
00:15:49,518 --> 00:15:50,650
Ah, Mr. Wayne.
312
00:15:50,652 --> 00:15:54,620
Who knows how far
that stamp had to travel
313
00:15:54,622 --> 00:15:57,623
and what enormous perils
it went through
314
00:15:57,625 --> 00:16:03,895
before it finally found its way
to my poor establishment?
315
00:16:03,897 --> 00:16:05,329
Not quite as poor as it was
316
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:07,230
the day before yesterday,
Mr. Severoff
317
00:16:07,232 --> 00:16:11,934
when I paid a rather handsome
price for the Blue Boar
318
00:16:11,936 --> 00:16:13,302
I just hope that you were right
319
00:16:13,304 --> 00:16:17,372
Are you implying that I
hoodwinked you, Mr. Wayne?
320
00:16:17,374 --> 00:16:19,207
That I sold you a fake?
321
00:16:19,209 --> 00:16:20,174
No, of course not.
322
00:16:20,176 --> 00:16:24,945
But isn't it possible
that you were hoodwinked.
323
00:16:24,947 --> 00:16:28,982
Nobody hoodwinks
Boris Severoff.
324
00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:30,616
Speaking of valuable stamps
325
00:16:30,618 --> 00:16:33,251
have you ever noticed a stamp
called the Gotham Gothic?
326
00:16:33,253 --> 00:16:37,021
It used to be in the collection
of a Mr. Pinkus Pinkston
327
00:16:37,023 --> 00:16:39,490
but upon his death it vanished.
328
00:16:39,492 --> 00:16:43,594
Well, of course, I have
heard of this, Mr. Wayne
329
00:16:43,596 --> 00:16:46,396
but you must remember
what a very small
330
00:16:46,398 --> 00:16:50,032
and perishable thing
a single stamp is.
331
00:16:50,034 --> 00:16:52,467
It might easily
have gotten lost
332
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:54,635
or accidently destroyed.
333
00:16:54,637 --> 00:16:59,439
Yes, most likely.
I just thought I'd ask.
334
00:16:59,441 --> 00:17:02,208
Well, gentlemen.
335
00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:04,610
Oh, gentlemen, a true
pleasure to serve you
336
00:17:04,612 --> 00:17:07,446
and I hope I have the
opportunity once more
337
00:17:07,448 --> 00:17:09,080
before I return to my home.
338
00:17:09,082 --> 00:17:11,048
[speaking foreign language]
339
00:17:11,050 --> 00:17:14,985
Good day, good day, good day.
340
00:17:22,593 --> 00:17:23,326
Reprint.
341
00:17:23,328 --> 00:17:24,493
- Yes, boss.
- Shift into high gear.
342
00:17:24,495 --> 00:17:28,029
We may have to move to the
warehouse sooner than planned.
343
00:17:28,031 --> 00:17:30,164
The pink nibs causing
problems again?
344
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:31,431
She's just one of my headaches.
345
00:17:31,433 --> 00:17:33,533
I really smell
trouble this time.
346
00:17:33,535 --> 00:17:34,333
Too bad, boss.
347
00:17:34,335 --> 00:17:38,403
But you'll flip when you see
my last batch of phony stamps.
348
00:17:38,405 --> 00:17:40,605
Not fuzzy at all.
349
00:17:46,545 --> 00:17:50,481
(male narrator)
But Colonel Gumm isn't the only
one who smells trouble
350
00:17:50,483 --> 00:17:55,586
as he ends Boris Severoff's
day's activities.
351
00:17:56,087 --> 00:17:59,289
And Britt Reid begins
The Green Hornet's
352
00:17:59,291 --> 00:18:00,456
evening intrigue.
353
00:18:00,458 --> 00:18:04,226
I'm certain that Bruce Wayne's
slippery stamp dealer
354
00:18:04,228 --> 00:18:07,229
and the foreman of the
Pink Chips Stamps factory
355
00:18:07,231 --> 00:18:08,163
are the same man, Kato
356
00:18:08,165 --> 00:18:11,099
Involved in the counterfeit
stamping we are trying to crack?
357
00:18:11,101 --> 00:18:12,333
And undoubtedly
knowing something
358
00:18:12,335 --> 00:18:14,168
about the missing
Gotham Gothic.
359
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:15,169
I have a feeling that Batman
360
00:18:15,171 --> 00:18:17,504
and Robin are gonna be
on our tails tonight.
361
00:18:17,506 --> 00:18:20,240
Making our task
that much more tricky.
362
00:18:20,242 --> 00:18:20,673
How so?
363
00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:22,174
To the world,
they're known
364
00:18:22,176 --> 00:18:25,010
as the caped crusaders,
fearless crime fighters.
365
00:18:25,012 --> 00:18:27,145
Whereas due to the nature
of our operation
366
00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:30,248
the same world at large
looks on us as criminals.
367
00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:32,683
Only a very few
know different.
368
00:18:32,685 --> 00:18:35,218
Sure does sound tricky.
369
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:38,621
So I'll turn my Hornet Sting
to half maximum power.
370
00:18:38,623 --> 00:18:42,224
I don't want to get careless
and hurt Batman if we clash
371
00:18:42,226 --> 00:18:44,559
Well, you always have
your gas gun.
372
00:18:44,561 --> 00:18:45,192
Right.
373
00:18:45,194 --> 00:18:48,128
And nothing must stop us
from gaining our ends.
374
00:18:48,130 --> 00:18:51,264
So, to the battlefield.
375
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:53,232
And speaking of warfare..
376
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:55,067
Now, don't lie to me,
Colonel Gumm.
377
00:18:55,069 --> 00:18:58,270
I know what I've heard
and I know what I've seen since.
378
00:18:58,272 --> 00:19:01,106
All I don't know
is how I could've been
379
00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:02,107
so blind for so long.
380
00:19:02,109 --> 00:19:03,808
The first thing
we're going to do--
381
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:07,344
Is to lock you up,
Miss Pinkston.
382
00:19:07,346 --> 00:19:08,745
'In my office, for now.'
383
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:11,247
We'll take you to the
warehouse later on.
384
00:19:11,249 --> 00:19:15,484
First, we have to wind
things up here.
385
00:19:18,488 --> 00:19:20,288
And then to make my big kill
386
00:19:20,290 --> 00:19:23,624
at the stamp exhibition
tomorrow night.
387
00:19:34,736 --> 00:19:36,470
No sign of Black Beauty, Robin.
388
00:19:36,472 --> 00:19:37,871
We must've beaten it here.
389
00:19:37,873 --> 00:19:39,772
There's an alley
around the corner.
390
00:19:39,774 --> 00:19:42,608
We can hide the car there.
391
00:19:55,688 --> 00:19:57,388
- No Batmobile.
- Good.
392
00:19:57,390 --> 00:20:01,825
We can get some work
done first and fast.
393
00:20:09,767 --> 00:20:13,369
Holy split seconds! Let's go.
394
00:20:13,371 --> 00:20:14,903
Easy, old chum.
395
00:20:14,905 --> 00:20:18,773
I chanced to notice
an open window back there.
396
00:20:20,575 --> 00:20:22,609
That sign on the door
397
00:20:22,611 --> 00:20:23,643
this means you.
398
00:20:23,645 --> 00:20:26,379
Shall we say this means us?
399
00:20:26,513 --> 00:20:26,912
Us?
400
00:20:26,914 --> 00:20:28,546
You should know
who I am by now.
401
00:20:28,548 --> 00:20:32,616
How about cutting me in on a
little piece of the action?
402
00:20:32,618 --> 00:20:34,451
How big a piece?
403
00:20:34,453 --> 00:20:37,787
That depends on how much
a stamp dealer
404
00:20:37,789 --> 00:20:39,922
named Boris Severoff
405
00:20:39,924 --> 00:20:42,691
'can get for the missing
Gotham Gothic.'
406
00:20:42,693 --> 00:20:45,827
You see I know more
about you than you think.
407
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:46,861
We can take 'em all, Batman.
408
00:20:46,863 --> 00:20:50,831
It's a very sophisticated
looking piece of machinery.
409
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:52,833
Yes, it's my own invention.
410
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:56,002
The Enlarged Perforating
and Coiling Machine.
411
00:20:56,004 --> 00:20:59,939
Why not give it a closer look?
412
00:20:59,941 --> 00:21:01,974
Alright.
413
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,780
He's not showing
them the machinery
414
00:21:09,782 --> 00:21:11,248
he's tossing them into it.
415
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:12,282
The Green Hornet may posses
416
00:21:12,284 --> 00:21:14,384
the only clue
to this baffling case.
417
00:21:14,386 --> 00:21:15,651
You know my motto, boys.
418
00:21:15,653 --> 00:21:17,786
Always stamp out evil.
419
00:21:18,554 --> 00:21:20,521
Boss, look.
420
00:21:20,523 --> 00:21:21,021
We move.
421
00:21:21,023 --> 00:21:23,757
Let's give them
a thorough pasting.
422
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:25,825
Come on, boys.
423
00:22:10,604 --> 00:22:13,539
Holy flypaper, Batman!
424
00:22:19,946 --> 00:22:23,682
We've all heard how
the Dynamic Duo stick together
425
00:22:23,684 --> 00:22:24,683
through thick and thin.
426
00:22:24,685 --> 00:22:28,887
But this time you're
really stuck, Batman
427
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:31,089
on that un-detachable glue pad.
428
00:22:31,091 --> 00:22:33,825
While The Green Hornet
and his masked companion
429
00:22:33,827 --> 00:22:37,461
are being blocked,
gummed and perforated
430
00:22:37,463 --> 00:22:39,529
in that machine.
431
00:22:43,634 --> 00:22:46,702
You satanic, mad stamp man!
432
00:22:46,704 --> 00:22:47,736
Satanic, Batman?
433
00:22:47,738 --> 00:22:53,475
Who knows,
but mad stamp-man perhaps?
434
00:22:53,477 --> 00:22:54,876
[laughing]
435
00:22:54,878 --> 00:22:56,644
Behold, even as we speak
436
00:22:56,646 --> 00:23:02,383
my machine is producing
a very rare stamp indeed.
437
00:23:06,087 --> 00:23:09,489
Ah, wonderful.
438
00:23:09,491 --> 00:23:12,024
Shall we call him
The Green Hornet?
439
00:23:12,026 --> 00:23:15,360
The only stamp of its
kind ever printed.
440
00:23:15,362 --> 00:23:17,695
I'm sure it will be
a collectors item
441
00:23:17,697 --> 00:23:19,063
'if it were not for it's size.'
442
00:23:19,065 --> 00:23:23,934
Ah, The Green Hornet makes such
a wonderful, beautiful stamp
443
00:23:23,936 --> 00:23:28,505
that I think I'll thumbtack
him to the wall.
444
00:23:28,507 --> 00:23:30,039
Holy human collector's item!
445
00:23:30,041 --> 00:23:33,042
Exactly, Boy Wonder.
And as soon as I tack up
446
00:23:33,044 --> 00:23:34,009
the other masked marauder
447
00:23:34,011 --> 00:23:37,479
who is even now being
perforated in that machine
448
00:23:37,481 --> 00:23:40,515
then it will be your
turns, dynamic duo.
449
00:23:40,517 --> 00:23:43,618
Oh, yes, I know you've faced
many deadly perils
450
00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:45,519
and escaped in many
devious manners.
451
00:23:45,521 --> 00:23:50,891
But you have never been so close
to being completely stamped out
452
00:23:50,893 --> 00:23:53,093
as you are right now.
453
00:23:53,095 --> 00:23:56,396
[laughing]
454
00:23:57,464 --> 00:24:00,132
The Green Hornet and Kato
455
00:24:00,134 --> 00:24:02,534
blocked, gummed and perforated?
456
00:24:02,536 --> 00:24:08,006
And then thumbtacked
to a wall as collectors' items?
457
00:24:08,008 --> 00:24:10,441
With Batman and Robin to follow
458
00:24:10,443 --> 00:24:16,146
when they're unglued from
the un-detachable glue pad?
459
00:24:16,148 --> 00:24:17,547
Don't stampede!
460
00:24:17,549 --> 00:24:21,117
Stay close to your
stamping grounds!
461
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,587
Tomorrow, same Bat-time
462
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:26,889
same Bat-channel.
463
00:24:32,462 --> 00:24:33,862
