The nefarious villains band together in a cunning plot to eliminate the leaders of the world meeting at a peace summit, putting Batman and Robin in grave danger. While Bruce Wayne, Batman’s distinguished alter ego, finds himself smitten by a woman who is unbelievably sweet, danger lurks just beneath the surface.

The chaos kicks off when the Dynamic Duo embarks on a voyage aboard the Batboat to confront Commodore Schmidlapp on his yacht, only to discover it’s a holographic ruse. Batman becomes entrapped by a shark filled with explosives, necessitating the use of a trusty can of Shark Repellent Bat Spray to escape the jaws of peril. Meanwhile, the Fearsome Foursome—comprising the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and the Catwoman—utilize the buoy that projected the deception to ensnare Batman and Robin in a magnetic torpedo trap.

The chaos amplifies when the Penguin, attempting to infiltrate the Batcave, causes a fiasco with dehydrated henchmen—a rehydration that hilariously misfires.

Ultimately, Batman maneuvers the confrontation back to the Penguin’s scheme at the United World Building, leading to a climactic showdown aboard the villain’s war-surplus submarine.
