Batman: Penguin schemes to make a bundle for Lola and himself by disguising the glue factory reject as Parasol and the real Parasol under the moniker of Bumber shoot; that way, everyone will bet on the paste Parasol, while The Penguin will make a killing from a wager on the true horse, which is an unmistakeable long shot! Needing a quick 10 grand to place that wager, he goes right back to Gotham Library to resume stealing the valuable parasol folio...unwittingly activating and Emergency Library Prowler Alarm, signaling Barbara Gordon, who immediately contacts her dad, Commissioner Gordon, who calls Batman and Robin, who rush to the library in time to catch Penguin plucking the folio. He gasses everyone with his umbrella and escapes. Knowing Penguin is short of funds, The Batman places a 'wanted to buy' ad in the collector's newspaper for a valuable book on parasols. The Penguin spots the ad and contacts the advertiser, Mr. A.L. Fredd (who actually is Alfred the butler in disguise, of course) and offers to sell him the folio for the needed amount of betting cash. The Felonious Fowl is angered to no end upon discovering The Caped Crusader has returned the stolen folio, and, blaming Barbara Gordon, he sends her a deadly gas-filled toy penguin! Penguin goes to the track to place his bet and scratches of all the horses in the race with the exception of Parasol and a newcomer Bumbershoot--literally!---with some well-placed itching powder. Bruce learns of this scheme and guesses the true nature of Penguin's plan to ride Bumbershoot in the race, and immediately enters his own horse, Waynebeau, in the handicap, knowing it's a shoo-in to win. Alfred knows Bruce would like Batgirl as jockey for Waynebeau, as Dick Grayson is set to ride the phony Parasol. The dutiful butler then rushed to the library in time to smother the toy penguin before it gets a chance to do any harm, and then informs Barbara about Bruce's plans for the race. Later, at the racetrack, The Caped Crusadress on Waynebeau easily passes Penguin on Bumbershoot and handily wins the Handicap. Realizing something has gone awry, The Blackbird Of Prey quickly waddles back to the jockey room to swicth into his regular garb before escaping, and finds that The Dynamic Trio have tailed him (no pun intended!). They battle the henchmen and proceed to put salt on The Penguin's tail once again. In Gotham City Library, The King Of The Nile, Tut, is ogling some rare ancient Egyptian scrolls...
