Batman - A Piece of the Action (1) Episode 85 of Batman. Original Airdate: March 1, 1967 Visiting Hero: Van Williams: The Green Hornet Assistant Visiting Hero: Bruce Lee: Kato Special Guest Villain: Roger C. Carmel: Col. Gumm Synopsis: On a foray into The Pick Chip Stamps Factory in Gotham City, The Green Hornet and Kato, tracing a flood of counterfeit stamps, are confronted by the unlikely Col. Gumm, an evil foreman running a counterfeit rare-stamp operation out of the factory, who informs boss Pinky Pinkston. The two crimefighters leave even though they have a good chance of trouncing Gumm. Factory owner Pinky Pinkston is concerned about the break-in, so she asks Commissioner Gordon for help, and Gordon alerts The Dynamic Duo. Later, Bruce Wayne lunches with Pinky and her friend Britt Reid and Gumm overhears their conversation as she asks Bruce to get The Batman to guard her factory against The Green Hornet and Kato. Bruce and Britt visit Boris Severoffs Stamp Store to complain about counterfeit stamps. Severoff denies everything but he hurriedly advises his thugs; Canceled, Reprint and Block, to dismantle the operation. Unfortunately, Pinky overhears Gumms conversation and she is bound and gagged in his office. The Green Hornet and Kato, returning to the factory in an attempt to round up the do-badders, are captured by Gumm and his men. Although The Batman and Robin arrive soon after, they fall into a glue trap and are forced to watch in horror as The Hornet and Kato are fed to an Enlarged Perforation and Coiling Machine, in which they are both to be blocked, gummed, and perforated into lifesized stamps, while The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder, stuck to Col. Gumms undetatchable glue pad, await their turn! Trivia: (1): Roger C. Carmel, is best known as Harry Mudd on Star Trek: The Original Series, he is the only villain not to receive the main billing as Guest Villain. (2): The Green Hornet and Kato are billed in the sub-main titles as Visiting Heroes. They previously appeared in a window cameo in The Spell of Tut and on TV in The Impractical Joker.
