In order to lure Batman and Robin to Police Headquarters, The Bookworm, a nororious master of stolen book plots, stages a phony assassination attempt on Commissioner Gordon during the dedication ceremony of the new Amergio Bridge. Once The Dynamic Duo enter Police HQ, Bookworm has his moll Lydia Limpetplanting a book bomb in The Batmobile. After discovering that Gordon is very much not dead (he was ticketed for overtime parking while leaving a luncheon), The Batman is alerted by The Batmobile Bomb Detector of an impending explosion and immediately pushes The Batmobile's Radiocontrolled Ejector Button, the bomb is ejected and it explodes in midair before it does any damage! The Duo quickly return to their unharmed Batmobile to discover a literary clue in the form of the book bomb's cover. They race back to The Batcave, where they deduce from the book cover that Bookworm is planning to blow up the new bridge. The "blow-up," however, is a photographic ruse: Bookworm projects a large image
