Tom Blake, a playboy and big-game hunter, is inspired by the memory of the Catwoman and his pet black panther to become the Cat-Man, a costumed thief, using cat gimmicks and cat motifs in his robberies. Batman, Robin and Batwoman stand against Cat-Man and confront the criminal on a number of occasions until Batman is able to deduce Cat-Man’s secret identity. When the Dynamic Duo find Cat-Man’s lair, they fall into a trap, but Batman finds a way out, after which Cat-Man tries to escape, but falls into a nearby river and is dragged away by the current.
