Holy Purr-loining! Catwoman commences a campaign of cat-astrophe, firstly by disrupting a luncheon in honour of Gotham’s ten best-dressed women, and then by attempting to steal the unique dresses at a fashion show. When Batman and Robin arrive and try to stop her, the feline felon’s henchmen, Angora and Manx, trap the Dynamic Duo with bolts of cloth, allowing Catwoman to flee to the safety of the models' dressing room, safe in the knowledge that the crime fighters are too gentlemanly to pursue her inside. However, Batgirl arrives, frees the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder, and shows no qualms about following Catwoman into the dressing room; but the maniacal moggy promptly overpowers the Caped Crusaderess and then takes her back to her hideout in an abandoned loft in the Garment District. Having called Batman and revealed both the capture of Batgirl and the location of her lair, Catwoman then ties Batgirl to a conveyor belt that leads to a giant pattern-cutting machine, which will soon cut her down to size. Suspecting that Catwoman is planning to make off with the Golden Fleece, a solid-gold dress belonging to visiting Queen Bess of Belgravia, Batman and Robin face a difficult decision: should they rescue their fellow crime fighter, or prevent an international incident by stopping the furry felon from filching of the Fleece..?
